{"symbol":"CNTN2","synonyms":["TAX","TAG-1","AXT","TAX1","FAME5"],"name":"contactin 2 (axonal)","description":"This gene encodes a member of the contactin family of proteins, part of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. The encoded glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored neuronal membrane protein plays a role in the proliferation, migration, and axon guidance of neurons of the developing cerebellum. A mutation in this gene may be associated with adult myoclonic epilepsy.
