{"symbol":"CDHR2","synonyms":["PCLKC","PCDH24"],"name":"cadherin-related family member 2","description":"This gene is a member of the protocadherin family, which represents a subset of the larger cadherin superfamily. The members of the protocadherin family encode non-classical cadherins that function as calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecules. This protocadherin represents a new candidate for tumor suppression. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode the same protein have been identified.
