Abstract:Contactin 4 (CNTN4, alias BIG-2) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored neuronal membrane protein that functions as cell adhesion, playing a key role in maintaining the mechanical integrity and signaling properties of the synapse. However, its function and crosstalk with immune cells have not been investigated. Therefore, we tried to find out what role CNTN4 plays in cell adhesion between T cells and antigen-presenting cells (APC). CNTN4 has several binding partners such as the amyloid precursor prot… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
