This protein is principally expressed in the central nervous system where it plays a significant role in neural differentiation and connectivity. Protocadherin Gamma consists of a clustered gene family which includes many isoforms classified into subgroups A B and C. This family exhibits diverse and complex expression at the neuronal cell surface contributing to neural circuit formation and maintenance.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nClustered gene expression in the brain results in Protocadherin Gamma being necessary for cell-cell adhesion and signaling mechanisms. The protein organizes into tetramers that form large complexes essential for synaptic specificity. Protocadherin Gamma's interactions occur at the cellular membrane involving extracellular domains that mediate contact with neighboring cells. The protein cooperates with other members of the cadherin family reinforcing cellular adhesion and structural integrity in neural tissues.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nFunctional interactions in neural development prominently involve Protocadherin Gamma. This protein is integrated into the neural circuit assembly and synaptic connection pathways ensuring proper communication within the brain. Protocadherin Gamma demonstrates links to signaling proteins like neural cell adhesion molecules which assist in transmitting extracellular signals to intracellular domains. These pathways play a role in regulating synaptic plasticity which is important for learning and memory processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPhysiological imbalances or mutations in Protocadherin Gamma relate to conditions such as epilepsy and autism spectrum disorders. It interacts with scaffolding proteins which facilitate proper synapse formation essential for normal cognitive functions. Disruption in the expression or function of Protocadherin Gamma can lead to impaired neural connectivity contributing to the etiology of the aforementioned neurological conditions. Identifying pathophysiological changes in PCDH-γ expression may provide insights into therapeutic approaches for these disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854512312489,"sku":"ab187186","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab187186","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
