CNTN4

Contactin-4 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CNTN4 is_associated_with::gene.

Genomics
The gene is located on the short arm of is_associated_with::chromosome 3 (3p26.3). It is a single copy gene within the Watson (plus) strand, 957,399 bases in length and encodes a protein of 1026 amino acids (molecular weight 113.454 kDa)

Clinical relevance
Abnormal expression of this gene has been implicated in some cases of is_associated_with::autism. It has also been associated with cerebellar degeneration in is_associated_with::spinocerebellar ataxia type 16.
