Disease relevance of Cntn4

  • Our findings suggest a role for human contactin 4 protein in the response of neuroblastoma cells to differentiating agents [1].
 

High impact information on Cntn4

  • A novel splice variant of the cell adhesion molecule BIG-2 is expressed in the olfactory and vomeronasal neuroepithelia [2].
  • We have cloned a mouse cDNA encoding a novel truncated form of the gene BIG-2 from the vomeronasal organ [2].
  • These results suggest that alternative splicing of the BIG-2 gene transcript may play an important role in the organization of the vomeronasal and olfactory neuroepithelia [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Cntn4

  • To determine the expression of this gene, in situ hybridization analysis was performed in adult and developing mice using a riboprobe specific for BIG-2A [2].
