Pcdh12

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules; and labyrinthine layer development. Predicted to be located in cell-cell junction. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human PCDH12 (protocadherin 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 rat Pcdh12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
