Cntnap1 - contactin associated protein 1 Gene

Also Known as Caspr

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 84008

Summary

Enables SH3 domain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including myelination; neuronal action potential propagation; and synapse organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within neuron projection development. Located in paranode region of axon. Is integral component of membrane. Is active in presynaptic active zone membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lethal congenital contracture syndrome. Orthologous to human CNTNAP1 (contactin associated protein 1).
