description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of neuron differentiation and neuron projection development. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell adhesion. Predicted to be located in extracellular region; plasma membrane; and side of membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human CNTN4 (contactin 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit aberrant projection of olfactory axons to multiple glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. [provided by MGI curators] |
