Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; glycogen metabolic process; and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Located in cell-cell junction. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; heart; placenta; and retina. Orthologous to human PCDH12 (protocadherin 12).
