CNTN4 - contactin 4 Gene
Also Known as AXCAM; BIG-2
Species: Homo sapiens
About CNTN4
This gene has 17 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues and 36 paralogues. Broad expression in endometrium (RPKM 2.7), thyroid (RPKM 2.4) and 21 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the contactin family of immunoglobulins. Contactins are axon-associated cell adhesion molecules that function in neuronal network formation and plasticity. The encoded protein is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored neuronal membrane protein that may play a role in the formation of axon connections in the developing nervous system. Deletion or mutation of this gene may play a role in 3p deletion syndrome and autism spectrum disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
