MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: This gene encodes a member of the contactin family of proteins, part of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. The encoded glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored neuronal membrane protein plays a role in the proliferation, migration, and axon guidance of neurons of the developing cerebellum. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit epileptic seizures and elevated expression of A1 adenosine receptors. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
PHENOTYPE: Targeted mutation of this locus results in molecular abnormalities in the central nervous system. [provided by MGI curators]

Protein Function and Prediction

Cntn2 encodes the transiently-expressed axonal glycoprotein 1 (TAG1; alternatively TAX1), a cell adhesion immunoglobulin in the contractin family that functions in neurite outgrowth (1-4).  In addition to its function in outgrowth, TAG1 is also proposed to function in the guidance and fasciculation of neurites (4;5). It is proposed that TAG1 functions in the initial extension of developing axons within the rodent spinal cord (1). Neurocan and phosphacan/protein-tyrosine phosphatase-η/β are the ligands of TAG1 (2). TAG1 and Caspr2 form a scaffold that functions to maintain K+ channels at the juxtaparanodal region (6).

Expression/Localization

TAG1 is transiently expressed on subsets of embryonic spinal cord axons (early motor and commissural axons) and growth cones in the developing brain (4;7). Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes also express TAG1 throughout life (8).

Background

Cntn2tm1Fuka/tm1Fuka; MGI:2181052

involves: 129S1/Sv * 129X1/SvJ * C57BL/6

The morphology of the cerebellum, spinal cord and hippocampus in the homozygous mice are grossly normal (5). Homozygous animals had an upregulation of adenosine A1 receptors in the hippocampus and exhibited greater sensitivity to convulsant stimuli than wild-type animals (5).

Savvaki et al. show that mice with depletion in Tag1 have impaired learning and memory, as well as sensory and motor dysfunction (4). They also observe impairment of juxtaparanodal organization, shortening of internodes and altered VGKC and Caspr2 levels (4). Homozygotes also underperformed in the Morris water maze (MWM) and novel object recognition tests, and also showing reduced spontaneous motor activity, abnormal gait coordination and increased response latency to noxious thermal stimulation (hot-plate test) (4). The molecular organization of juxtaparanodal areas was disrupted and the internodes were shortened in relevant brain areas involved in learning and memory function, coordination, as well as excitability (4).

Cntn2tm1Furl/tm1Furl; MGI:2677610

involves: 129S1/Sv

In homozygous animals, axons are insensitive to wild-type ventral spinal cord (VSC)-derived chemorepellants, abnormal sensory neuron projections, and abnormal spinal cord dorsal horn morphology (9).

Cntn2tm1Furl/tm1Furl; MGI:2677610

involves: 129S1/Sv * C57BL/6

The phenotype of mice in this genetic background are similar to the ones listed above (9).

Cntn2tm2Furl/tm2Furl; MGI:3521785

C57BL/6-Cntn2tm2Furl

Homozygotes in this model have abnormal somatic nervous system physiology in that cultured dorsal root ganglion cells have much less repulsion to ventral spinal cord explants than controls (9).
