Combinatorial Expression of <i>α</i>- and γ-Protocadherins Alters Their Presenilin-Dependent Processing
3 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
Alpha- and gamma-protocadherins (Pcdhs) are type I transmembrane receptors expressed predominantly in the central nervous system and located in part in synapses. They are transcribed from complex genomic loci, giving rise in the mouse to 14 alpha-Pcdh and 22 gamma-Pcdh isoforms consisting of variable domains, each encompassing the extracellular region, the transmembrane region, and part of the intracellular...
