High impact information on PCDH7

  • BH-Pcdh has an extracellular domain consisting of seven repeats of the cadherin motif (EC 1 to 7) [1].
  • The BH-Pcdh gene was localized to human chromosome 4p15 [1].
  • There are three isoforms of BH-Pcdh, denoted -a, -b, and -c, which have different cytoplasmic tails and a 47-amino-acid deletion in the EC2-3 region of BH-Pcdh-c. While only a 9.0-kb message was detected in normal tissues, 4.5- and 9.0-kb mRNA species were seen in the human lung carcinoma cell line A549 [1].
