Pcdhb6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables calcium ion binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in cell-cell recognition and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; liver; metanephros; placenta; and spleen. Orthologous to human PCDHB5 (protocadherin beta 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Pcdhb6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Cadherin-like
- calcium ion binding
- Cadherin repeat-like domain
- Cadherin cytoplasmic C-terminal
- identical protein binding
