Protocadherin-12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PCDH12 gene.This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein consists of an extracellular domain containing 6 cadherin repeats a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail that differs from those of the classical cadherins. The gene localizes to the region on chromosome 5 where the protocadherin gene clusters reside.
