Activity summary

PCDHA1 also known as Protocadherin alpha-1 is a member of the protocadherin family which belong to the cadherin superfamily. This protein has a mass of approximately 105 kDa. It plays a role in forming calcium-dependent cell adhesion by binding homophilically which is important for maintaining the strength and positional accuracy of cell-cell contacts. PCDHA1 is primarily expressed in the brain particularly in the neural tissue where it contributes to the diversity and specificity of synaptic connections.

Biological function summary

PCDHA1 plays a role in the development and maintenance of neuronal networks. This protein seems to be part of a complex involved in synaptic formation and modulation. Researchers believe PCDHA1 contributes to the establishment of specific neuronal cell assemblies and supports the dynamic patterning of neuronal connectivity. The protocadherin family including PCDHA1 actively regulates the diversity of synapses required for proper neural circuit formation.

Pathways

PCDHA1 participates in the cell adhesion pathway and neural differentiation pathway. In these pathways PCDHA1 interacts with other protocadherins and likely cooperates with classical cadherins to mediate precise cellular signaling events. The target closely associates with proteins like PCDHA4 which also influences neural circuit development indicating overlapping roles across protocadherin family members in maintaining neural structure and function.

Associated diseases and disorders

PCDHA1 has connections to neurological conditions such as autism spectrum disorders and epilepsy. Alterations in PCDHA1 expression or mutations can disrupt synaptic connectivity leading to these conditions. The protein's involvement with neurological diseases also points to its relationship with N-cadherin involved in similar pathways suggesting that these networks' proper function is essential to prevent these disorders.
