Protein found in humans
Contactin 6 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the CNTN6 gene .[4]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily . It is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored neuronal membrane protein that functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It may play a role in the formation of axon connections in the developing nervous system.
