Background: Protocadherin alpha 1
Protocadherin alpha1 (PCDH alpha1) is a group A member of the Protocadherin family of molecules. It is expressed in synaptic membranes of neurons, forms obligate Ca++ independent complexes with various PCDH gamma family members and demonstrates heterophilic binding activity towards beta1 integrins. Human PCDH alpha1 is 921 amino acids (aa) in length. It is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that contains a 668 aa extracellular domain (ECD) plus a 232 aa cytoplasmic region. Both regions contribute to PCDH-gamma binding. There are six cadherin domains in the ECD. ADAM10 cleavage generates an 80‑90 kDa soluble fragment and a soluble splice form exists that is missing aa 535‑798. Over aa 30‑689, human PCDH alpha1 shares 83% aa identity with mouse PCDH alpha1.
