PCDHA9

Index PCDHA9

Protocadherin alpha-9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PCDHA9 gene. [1]

10 relations: Alternative splicing, C-terminus, Cadherin, Cell adhesion molecule, Chromosome 5, Exon, Gene, N-terminus, Protein, Protocadherin.

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing, or differential splicing, is a regulated process during gene expression that results in a single gene coding for multiple proteins.

C-terminus

The C-terminus (also known as the carboxyl-terminus, carboxy-terminus, C-terminal tail, C-terminal end, or COOH-terminus) is the end of an amino acid chain (protein or polypeptide), terminated by a free carboxyl group (-COOH).

Cadherin

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other.

Cell adhesion molecule

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the process called cell adhesion.

Chromosome 5

Chromosome 5 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans.

Exon

An exon is any part of a gene that will encode a part of the final mature RNA produced by that gene after introns have been removed by RNA splicing.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

N-terminus

The N-terminus (also known as the amino-terminus, NH2-terminus, N-terminal end or amine-terminus) is the start of a protein or polypeptide referring to the free amine group (-NH2) located at the end of a polypeptide.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Protocadherin

Protocadherins (Pcdhs) are the largest mammalian subgroup of the cadherin superfamily of homophilic cell-adhesion proteins.
