Supplementary information

PCDH12 also known as Protocadherin 12 belongs to the protocadherin family which is part of the cadherin superfamily. PCDH12 has a molecular mass of about 120 kDa. This protein is expressed in endothelial cells and certain types of smooth muscle tissues. Researchers have identified it in the central nervous system and specific fetal tissues suggesting a role in early development and vascular formation.
Biological function summary

PCDH12 contributes to cell-cell adhesion mechanisms. It plays a significant part in maintaining cellular architecture and establishing cell connectivity. Although not definitively confirmed as part of a larger complex its function aligns with other cadherins that mediate homophilic binding to stabilize cell interactions. It also participates in the development of the blood-brain barrier by supporting endothelial junctions.

Pathways

PCDH12 functions within the signaling networks related to cell adhesion and migration. It influences angiogenesis through its role in adherens junction pathways. This involvement links it to proteins such as VE-cadherin which are critical for vascular integrity. Additionally PCDH12 interacts with pathways that manage neural development potentially cooperating with other neural-specific cadherins.

PCDH12 shows connections to cerebrovascular diseases and certain cancer types. In stroke research altered PCDH12 expression correlates with blood-brain barrier dysfunction. Studies also indicate a possible involvement in tumor progression where its regulation affects cellular proliferation pathways. PCDH12 interacts with proteins like beta-catenin which may facilitate changes in cell signaling during tumorigenesis.

Target data

Cellular adhesion molecule that may play an important role in cell-cell interactions at interendothelial junctions (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of cell migration, probably via increasing cell-cell adhesion (PubMed : 21402705). Promotes homotypic calcium-dependent aggregation and adhesion and clusters at intercellular junctions (By similarity). Unable to bind to catenins, weakly associates with the cytoskeleton (By similarity).
