| Primary Identifier | MGI:1914047 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 66797 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables PDZ domain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; nervous system development; and synapse organization. Acts upstream of or within glutamatergic neuron differentiation and neuron projection development. Located in excitatory synapse; juxtaparanode region of axon; and membrane. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is active in several cellular components, including axon initial segment; cerebellar granule cell to Purkinje cell synapse; and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; neural retina; and sciatic nerve. Used to study autism spectrum disorder and cortical dysplasia-focal epilepsy syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autism spectrum disorder (multiple); communication disorder (multiple); cortical dysplasia-focal epilepsy syndrome; major depressive disorder; and social phobia. Orthologous to human CNTNAP2 (contactin associated protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Inactivation of this gene results in molecular abnormalities within the central nervous system, but homozygous mutant mice show no overt phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
