Protocadherin
The structure of protocadherins is similar to that of classic cadherins (pfam00028), but particularly on the cytoplasmic domains they also have some unique features. They are expressed in a variety of organizms and are found in high concentrations in the brain where they seem to be localized mainly at cell-cell contact sites. Their expression seems to be developmentally regulated.
