Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable SH3 domain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell-cell junction organization; protein localization to axon; and synapse organization. Acts upstream of or within neuron projection development. Located in paranode region of axon and septate junction. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in optic nerve; sciatic nerve; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lethal congenital contracture syndrome. Orthologous to human CNTNAP1 (contactin associated protein 1).
