From Proteopedia

Mouse contactin-3 domains Ig1-Ig4 complex with glycerol (PDB code 5i99) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Contactin (CNTN) is a neuronal cell surface glycoprotein which associates with sodium channel and enhances the density of these channels on the plasma membrane in mammalian expression systems[1]. Disease contactin-4 is an autism susceptibility locus[2].
