Programmed cell death 10 protein (PDCD10/CCM3) is part of the CCM complex and is required for neuronal migration [1]. Outside of this complex, it is crucial in vascularization and in angiogenesis as it functions in vessel permeability and stability [2]. PDCD10/CCM3 contains an N-terminal dimerisation domain and a C-terminal focal adhesion targeting-homology (FAT-H) domain (represented in this entry) [3].
