| Gene Symbol | PCDH8 |
| Gene Full Name | protocadherin 8 |
| Background | This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. The gene encodes an integral membrane protein that is thought to function in cell adhesion in a CNS-specific manner. Unlike classical cadherins, which are generally encoded by 15-17 exons, this gene includes only 3 exons. Notable is the large first exon encoding the extracellular region, including 6 cadherin domains and a transmembrane region. Alternative splicing yields isoforms with unique cytoplasmic tails.

| Function | Calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein (By similarity). May play a role in activity-induced synaptic reorganization underlying long term memory (By similarity). Could be involved in CDH2 internalization through TAOK2/p38 MAPK pathway. In hippocampal neurons, may play a role in the down-regulation of dendritic spines, maybe through its action on CDH2 endocytosis (By similarity). [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell projection, dendrite. Cell junction, synapse, presynaptic cell membrane. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane. Note=Also expressed in neuronal cell bodies. Localized to excitatory, but not with inhibitory, synapses. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 113 kDa |
