01

Overview

Protocadherin gamma subfamily B, 6 (PCDHGB6) is a member of the protocadherin gamma gene cluster located on chromosome 5, encoding a neural cadherin-like cell-adhesion protein that contains six cadherin ectodomains and a transmembrane region, with a cytoplasmic tail shared among gamma cluster members. The protein is likely involved in calcium-dependent homophilic cell adhesion and is thought to play a role in establishing and maintaining specific neuronal connections in the brain. While associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, it is not currently known as a therapeutic target or associated with any drugs[1][2][5][3].
