Function

Contactins mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Involved in the formation of paranodal axo-glial junctions in myelinated peripheral nerves and in the signaling between axons and myelinating glial cells via its association with CNTNAP1. Participates in oligodendrocytes generation by acting as a ligand of NOTCH1. Its association with NOTCH1 promotes NOTCH1 activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) and subsequent translocation to the nucleus. Interaction with TNR induces a repulsion of neurons and an inhibition of neurite outgrowth (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Isoform 1: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI- anchor; Extracellular side.Isoform 2: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI- anchor; Extracellular side.

Disease Associations

Compton-North congenital myopathy (CNCM) [MIM:612540]: Familial lethal form of congenital onset muscle weakness, inherited in an autosomal-recessive fashion and characterized by a secondary loss of beta2-syntrophin and alpha-dystrobrevin from the muscle sarcolemma, central nervous system involvement, and fetal akinesia. {ECO:0000269PubMed:19026398}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Strongly expressed in brain and in neuroblastoma and retinoblastoma cell lines. Lower levels of expression in lung, pancreas, kidney and skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269PubMed:2026173, ECO:0000269PubMed:8164510}.
