Facts about Protocadherin-12.
Promotes homotypic calcium-dependent aggregation and adhesion and clusters in intercellular junctions (By similarity). Unable to bind to catenins, weakly associates with the cytoskeleton (By similarity).

Expressed in highly vascularized tissues including the heart and placenta, but most tissues contain a low level of expression (PubMed:11063261). Prominent expression in the spleen (PubMed:11063261). Present in villous and extravillous trophoblast (at protein level) (PubMed:21402705).
