Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The synaptic cell adhesion molecules, protocadherins, are a vertebrate innovation that accompanied the emergence of the neural tube and the elaborate central nervous system. In mammals, the protocadherins are encoded by three closely-linked clusters (alpha, beta and gamma) of tandem genes and are hypothesized to provide a molecular code for specifying the remarkably-diverse neural connections in the...
