Several colorectal, breast, endometrial and pancreatic cancers displayed moderate membranous and cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer cells were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PCDHB6 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
PCDH-BETA6
Description
Protocadherin beta 6 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the protocadherin beta gene cluster, one of three related gene clusters tandemly linked on chromosome five. The gene clusters demonstrate an unusual genomic organization similar to that of B-cell and T-cell receptor gene clusters. Unlike the alpha and gamma clusters, the transcripts from these genes do not share common 3' exons. These neural cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins are integral plasma membrane proteins that most likely play a critical role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell neural connections. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]
