Protein Function
Contactins mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Involved in the formation of paranodal axo-glial junctions in myelinated peripheral nerves and in the signaling between axons and myelinating glial cells via its association w
Background
Contactin 1, also known as CNTN1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CNTN1 gene. This gene is mapped to 12q12. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored neuronal membrane protein that functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It may play a role in the formation of axon connections in the developing nervous system. Multiple alteatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
