protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Gene data

CNTN2
Name
contactin 2
Type
protein-coding
Aliases
AXT, EPEO5, FAME5, TAG-1, TAX, TAX1

This gene encodes a member of the contactin family of proteins, part of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. The encoded glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored neuronal membrane protein plays a role in the proliferation, migration, and axon guidance of neurons of the developing cerebellum. A mutation in this gene may be associated with adult myoclonic epilepsy. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016].
