Background: Contactin-3

Contactin-3 (CNTN-3), also known as brain-derived immunoglobulin superfamily protein 1 (BIG-1) and plasmacytoma-associated neuronal glycoprotein (PANG), is an axon-associated cell adhesion molecule (AxCAM). CNTN-3, together with 5 additional contactin proteins, forms the TAG-1/F3 subgroup of the Ig superfamily (1-3). Mature mouse CNTN-3 is a heavily glycosylated, 983 amino acid (aa) chain containing 6 Ig C2-like domains, 4 type III fibronectin-like domains, and a GPI anchor (1, 2). Mouse CNTN-3 shares 92% and 95% aa identity with human and rat CNTN-3, respectively. CNTN-3 is abundantly expressed in the adult brain, particularly in the frontal lobe, occipital lobe, cerebellum, amygdala, and hippocampus (1, 4). In mice, CNTN-3 has been associated with sensory circuitry such as the olfactory bulb and the outer segment of the retina (5, 6). Immobilized CNTN-3 promotes neurite outgrowth from rat hippocampal neurons (4). Although the physiological function of CNTN-3 is still poorly understood, experimental evidence shows that it forms both cis- and trans-complexes with protein tyrosine phosphatase gamma (PTPRG) at the cell surface (5, 6).
