Background:  Protocadherins are a large family of cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins that are involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal connections in the brain. There are three protocadherin (PCDH) gene clusters, designated alpha, beta and gamma, all of which contain multiple tandemly arranged genes. The protein products of PCDH-alpha genes interact with Integrin ∫1 to promote cell adhesion and form oligomers with PCDH-gamma proteins at specific membrane sites. PCDHA7 (Protocadherin alpha-7) is a 937 amino acid single-pass transmembrane protein that contains six cadherin domains and functions as a potential calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein, possibly playing a role in the creation and maintenance of neuronal connections. There are two isoforms of PCDHA7 that are produced as a result of alternative splicing events.
