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.

General info
Function
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).
Post-translational modifications
Protocadherin-12. Cleaved by ADAM10 close to the transmembrane domain to release the Protocadherin-12, secreted form in the serum. Cleavage results in reduced cellular adhesion in a cell migration assay.
