{"symbol":"PCDHGCT","synonyms":["PCDHGC"],"name":"protocadherin gamma constant","description":"The genomic organization of the human protocadherin alpha, beta, and gamma gene clusters (PCDHA@, PCDHB@ and PCDHG@) is remarkably similar to that of immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes. The extracellular and transmembrane domains of each protocadherin protein are encoded by an unusually large `variable` region exon, while the intracellular domains are encoded by three small `constant` region exons located downstream from a tandem array of variable region exons. This locus represents the three exons comprising the constant region of the protocadherin gamma gene cluster.
