Changes in synaptic efficacy can mediate crucial processes during learning and memory formation.
Accumulating evidence implicates cell adhesion molecules in activity-dependent synaptic modifications associated with paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD).
Among the cell adhesion molecules involved in these processes are the contactins.
Contactins are immunoglobulin superfamily members that play a selective role in synaptic plasticity, PPF and LTD, and may regulate cell-cell interactions contributing to synaptic plasticity in conjunction with other synapse targeting molecules, including paranodin and phosphacan.
In addition, contactins are essential components that control expression and distribution of Na+ channels in neurons, junctional attachment at the paranode, and ultimately the physiology of the myelinated nerve.
The human Contactin 1 gene encodes a 1,018 amino acid protein.
The human Contactin 3 gene encodes a 646 amino acid plasmacytoma-associated neuronal glycoprotein.
The human Contactin 5 gene encodes a 1,100 amino acid neural adhesion molecule.
The human Contactin 6 gene encodes a 1,028 amino acid neural adhesion molecule.
