Background: Protocadherin-18

Protocadherin-18 (PCDH18) is an approximately 130 kDa glycoprotein belonging to the delta 2 subgroup of non-clustered protocadherins (1-3). Like other delta 2 protocadherins, mature Protocadherin-12 contains six cadherin domains in its extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane sequence, and a cytoplasmic domain (1, 2, 4). Within the ECD, human Protocadherin-18 shares 92% and 91% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat Protocadherin-18, respectively. Protocadherin-18 is expressed in the brain, heart, kidney, lung, and trachea (1, 5). Protocadherin-18 promotes cell-cell adhesion during embryogenesis in Zebrafish (6). Mouse Protocadherin-18 interacts with Disabled-1, a protein required for correct formation of cortical neuron layers (4, 5, 7, 8). Also in mice, Protocadherin-18 may additionally be an activation marker for CD8+ memorty T cells (9). In humans, deletion of Protocadherin-18 has been linked to intellectual disability (10).
