Entrez Gene summary for PCDHA4 Gene:

This gene is a member of the protocadherin alpha gene cluster, one of three related gene clusters tandemly linked

on chromosome five that demonstrate an unusual genomic organization similar to that of B-cell and T-cell receptor

gene clusters. The alpha gene cluster is composed of 15 cadherin superfamily genes related to the mouse CNR genes

and consists of 13 highly similar and 2 more distantly related coding sequences. The tandem array of 15

N-terminal exons, or variable exons, are followed by downstream C-terminal exons, or constant exons, which are

shared by all genes in the cluster. The large, uninterrupted N-terminal exons each encode six cadherin

ectodomains while the C-terminal exons encode the cytoplasmic domain. These neural cadherin-like cell adhesion

proteins are integral plasma membrane proteins that most likely play a critical role in the establishment and

function of specific cell-cell connections in the brain. Alternative splicing has been observed and additional

variants have been suggested but their full-length nature has yet to be determined. (provided by RefSeq, Jul

2008)

GeneCards Summary for PCDHA4 Gene:

PCDHA4 (protocadherin alpha 4) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with PCDHA4 include neuronitis. GO annotations related to this gene include calcium ion binding. An important paralog of this gene is PCDHAC1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PCDA4_HUMAN, Q9UN74

Function: Potential calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein. May be involved in the establishment and maintenance

of specific neuronal connections in the brain

summary for PCDHA4 Gene:

The CB1 receptor, also known as the central cannabinoid receptor, is a member of the cannabinoid receptor

group of G-protein-coupled receptors that also includes CB2 and GPR55. They are found mainly in the

terminals of central and peripheral neurons where they usually mediate inhibition of neurotransmitter

release. They can also be present on some non-neuronal cells, including immune cells.
