Function

Required for gap junction formation (Probable). Required, with CNTNAP1, for radial and longitudinal organization of myelinated axons. Plays a role in the formation of functional distinct domains critical for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses in myelinated nerve fibers.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein); Cell projection, axon; Cell junction, paranodal septate junction
Tissue Specificity: Predominantly expressed in nervous system
Disease Association: Autism 15 (AUTS15) : A complex multifactorial, pervasive developmental disorder characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication, restricted and stereotyped patterns of interests and activities, and the presence of developmental abnormalities by 3 years of age. Most individuals with autism also manifest moderate intellectual disability.
