Gene: CNTN5
Alternate names for this Gene: HNB-2s|NB-2
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, and contactin family, which mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. This protein is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored neuronal membrane protein that functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It may play a role in the formation of axon connections in the developing nervous system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11q22.1
Description of this Gene: contactin 5
Type of Gene: protein-coding
