Protocadherin-1 Localization and Cell-Adhesion Function in Airway Epithelial Cells in Asthma.

The asthma gene PCDH1 encodes Protocadherin-1, a putative adhesion molecule of unknown function expressed in the airway epithelium. Here, we characterize the localization, differential expression, homotypic adhesion specificity and function of PCDH1 in airway epithelial cells in asthma.We performed...
