NTM, IGLON2, NT, Neurotrimin, hNT, IgLON family member 2
This gene encodes a member of the IgLON (LAMP, OBCAM, Ntm) family of immunoglobulin (Ig) domain-containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell adhesion molecules. The encoded protein may promote neurite outgrowth and adhesion via a homophilic mechanism. This gene is closely linked to a related family member, opioid binding protein/cell adhesion molecule-like (OPCML), on chromosome 11. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009],function:Neural cell adhesion molecule.,similarity:Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. IgLON family.,similarity:Contains 3 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,
