This gene is a member of the protocadherin gamma gene cluster, one of three related clusters tandemly linked on chromosome five.
These gene clusters have an immunoglobulin-like organization, suggesting that a novel mechanism may be involved in their regulation and expression.
The gamma gene cluster includes 22 genes divided into 3 subfamilies.
Subfamily A contains 12 genes, subfamily B contains 7 genes and 2 pseudogenes, and the more distantly related subfamily C contains 3 genes.
The tandem array of 22 large, variable region exons are followed by a constant region, containing 3 exons shared by all genes in the cluster.
Each variable region exon encodes the extracellular region, which includes 6 cadherin ectodomains and a transmembrane region.
The constant region exons encode the common cytoplasmic region.
These neural cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins most likely play a critical role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell connections in the brain.
Alternative splicing has been described for the gamma cluster genes.
