    Summary
    Enables carbohydrate binding activity. Involved in central nervous system myelin formation and locomotory behavior. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of neuron projection development; and positive regulation of sodium ion transport. Is anchored component of postsynaptic membrane. Is anchored component of presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cranial ganglion; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Compton-North congenital myopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Compton-North congenital myopathy. Orthologous to human CNTN1 (contactin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
