    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Pcdh19 protocadherin 19
    intraspecies homolog to cadherin
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • cadherin superfamily of calcium dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoproteins
  • protocadherin subfamily
  • CATEGORY adhesion , receptor membrane
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane,junction
        intracellular
    intracellular,nuclear envelope,int
    text integral plasma membrane, putatively localized at the synaptic junction
    basic FUNCTION
  • cadherin-related neuronal receptor, putatively involved in the specificity of neuronal connections
  • PCDH19 and CDH2 function together to regulate cell adhesion and to mediate morphogenetic movements during brain development
  • has likely a role in instructing the apico-basal polarity of the progenitor cells, thus regulating the development of a properly organized human brain
  • role of PCDH19 in determining cell adhesion affinities during cortical development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development , nervous system
    text
  • playing a putative role in cell-cell interactions critical in the development of the central nervous system, mediating adhesion in synaptic junctions through lack-in process

    small molecule metal binding,
  • Ca2+
  • protein
  • adhesion by the PCDH19-CDH2 complex was unaffected by mutations that disrupt CDH2 homophilic binding but was inhibited by a mutation in PCDH19
  • EOMES coordinates likely neurogenesis expansion and precise microcircuit assembly via PCDH19 in the mammalian cortex
