Summary
Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
|
This gene is a member of the calsyntenin family, a subset of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded transmembrane protein, also known as alcadein-alpha, is thought to bind to kinesin-1 motors to mediate the axonal anterograde transport of certain types of |

Protein name |
Calsyntenin-1 (Alcadein-alpha) (Alc-alpha) (Alzheimer-related cadherin-like protein) (Non-classical cadherin XB31alpha) [Cleaved into: Soluble Alc-alpha (SAlc-alpha); CTF1-alpha (C-terminal fragment 1-alpha)] |
Protein function |
Postsynaptic adhesion molecule that binds to presynaptic neurexins to mediate both excitatory and inhibitory synapse formation (By similarity). Promotes synapse development by acting as a cell adhesion molecule at the postsynaptic membrane, whic |
