Gene namePCDH12
Protein namePCDH12 protein
Protocadherin 12
Protocadherin-12 (Vascular cadherin-2) (Vascular endothelial cadherin-2) (VE-cad-2) (VE-cadherin-2) [Cleaved into: Protocadherin-12, secreted form]
SynonymsUNQ395/PRO731
DescriptionFUNCTION: Cellular adhesion molecule that may play an important role in cell-cell interactions at interendothelial junctions (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of cell migration, probably via increasing cell-cell adhesion . Promotes homotypic calcium-dependent aggregation and adhesion and clusters at intercellular junctions (By similarity). Unable to bind to catenins, weakly associates with the cytoskeleton (By similarity). .
