Gene: CNTN6
Alternate names for this Gene: NB3
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3p26.3
Description of this Gene: contactin 6
Type of Gene: protein-coding
