    text expressed at the neuromuscular junction
    basic FUNCTION
  • neuronal cell adhesion molecule, involved in axon growth and initiating a NOTCH/DTX1 signaling pathway that promotes oligodendrocyte maturation and myelination
  • may play a role in the formation of axon connections in the developing nervous system
  • playing a role at the neuromuscular junction
  • playing a role in the regulation of neurite growth, synapse formation, fasciculation, and myelin organization
  • CNTN1, CNTN2 and L1-like proteins (NRCAM) play a significant role in modulating SHH-induced neuronal precursor proliferation
  • plays a general role in neural development and, in particular, in neuronal and oligodendrocyte differentiation
  • reduces CDH1 expression via activating AKT1 in lung cancer
  • is involved in several aspects of neural development including synapse building, maintenance and functioning
  • plays likely a role in promoting adult hippocampal neurogenesis and this effect correlates with improved synaptic function and memory
  • regulates both myelin formation and organization of nodal and paranodal domains in the CNS
  • neural cell adhesion protein, hat is a prostate cancer-promoting factor

    a component PTPRZ1/CNTN1 complex is a previously unknown modulator of oligodendrogenesis
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 ligand
  • interacting with PTPRZ2 (Abdelhakim 2010)
  • PTPRZ1 binds specifically to CNTN1 expressed at the surface of oligodendrocyte precursor cells
  • enhances AKT1 activation in part by preventing PHLPP2-mediated AKT1 dephosphrorylation
  • PTPRA interacts with CNTN1 to form a membrane-spanning co-receptor complex to transduce extracellular signals to FYN tyrosine kinase
  • cell & other
