Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: Contactins mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Has some neurite outgrowth-promoting activity. May be involved in synaptogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9733924}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with PTPRG. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20133774}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in the region of developing olfactory neurons. Isoform 2 is expressed in mature sensory cells of the vomeronasal neuroepithelium and at lower level in olfactory neuroepithelium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9733924}.
Developmental stage: Expressed from 14 dpc at a time when developing axons reach the olfactory bulb. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9733924}.
Similarity: Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Contactin family. {ECO:0000305}.
