Gene:
contactin associated protein-like 5
Gene ID:
205988
Symbol:
CNTNAP5
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene product belongs to the neurexin family, members of which function in the vertebrate nervous system as cell adhesion molecules and receptors. This protein, like other neurexin proteins, contains epidermal growth factor repeats and laminin G domains. In addition, it includes an F5/8 type C domain, discoidin/neuropilin- and fibrinogen-like domains, and thrombospondin N-terminal-like domains. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
