This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. The gene encodes a protein with an extracellular domain containing 7 cadherin repeats. The gene product is an integral membrane protein that is thought to function in cell–cell recognition and adhesion. Alternative splicing yields isoforms with unique cytoplasmic tails.^[6]
