CNTN1 contactin 1

Gene ID: 1272, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: F3; GP135; MYPCN; CMYO12; CMYP12

Summary

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 alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
