Protein dachsous homolog 1, also known as protocadherin-16 (PCDH16) or cadherin-19 (CDH19) or cadherin-25 (CDH25) or fibroblast cadherin-1 (FIB1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCHS1 gene.[5][6]

Function

This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily whose members encode calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecules. The encoded protein has a signal peptide, 27 cadherin repeat domains and a unique cytoplasmic region. This particular cadherin family member is expressed in fibroblasts but not in melanocytes or keratinocytes. The cell-cell adhesion of fibroblasts is thought to be necessary for wound healing.[5]

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause mitral valve prolapse[7]

gollark: So you are, in fact, saying they're stupid?

gollark: As opposed to immediately going "AAAAAAAAAAAAA TOO HARD MAFS MAFS MAFS".

gollark: It isn't complicated maths. And it's more of a "can you actually think about this enough to look it up" question.

gollark: Quite a lot of the people I interact with know more mathy stuff.

gollark: I expect that even if I said "HINT: try looking up "factorize number"" people would complain.
