Gene: CNTNAP5

Alternate names for this Gene: caspr5

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q14.3

Description of this Gene: contactin associated protein family member 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding
