Summary
Enables calcium ion binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in cell-cell recognition and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Located in membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; autopod; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PCDHA7 (protocadherin alpha 7) and PCDHA9 (protocadherin alpha 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
