Background
This gene is a member of the protocadherin beta genecluster, one of three related gene clusters tandemly linked onchromosome five. The gene clusters demonstrate an unusual genomicorganization similar to that of B-cell and T-cell receptor geneclusters. The beta cluster contains 16 genes and 3 pseudogenes,each encoding 6 extracellular cadherin domains and a cytoplasmictail that deviates from others in the cadherin superfamily. Theextracellular domains interact in a homophilic manner to specifydifferential cell-cell connections. Unlike the alpha and gammaclusters, the transcripts from these genes are made up of only onelarge exon, not sharing common 3' exons as expected. These neuralcadherin-like cell adhesion proteins are integral plasma membraneproteins. Their specific functions are unknown but they most likelyplay a critical role in the establishment and function of specificcell-cell neural connections.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
