CNTN1

Contactin 1, also known as CNTN1, is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the CNTN1 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the is_associated_with::immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a is_associated_with::glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored is_associated_with::neuronal is_associated_with::membrane protein that functions as a is_associated_with::cell adhesion molecule. It may play a role in the formation of is_associated_with::axon connections in the developing is_associated_with::nervous system. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Interactions
CNTN1 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::PTPRB.
