About Cbln2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of secreted neuronal glycoproteins. The transcript is broadly expressed in the embryonic and adult brain with higher levels in some regions including the olfactory bulb, thalamus, and cerebral cortex. The protein can bind to presynaptic neurexins and induce synaptogenesis in cultured neurons. Null mutant mice are viable, fertile and do not display obvious neuroanatomical defects. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
