Preparation and Storage

Background: Contactin-3

Contactin-3 (also BIG-1 in rat and PANG in mouse) is a 150 kDa member of the TAG/F3 subgroup, contactin family, Ig superfamily hierarchy. It is a GPI linked glycoprotein that is expressed on cerebellar Purkinje cells, amygdaloid and thalamic neurons and olfactory granule cells. Its exact function is unclear, but it likely mediates cell-cell interaction and may promote neurite outgrowth. Human Contactin-3 preproprecursor is 1028 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 19 aa signal sequence, a 983 aa mature region and a 26 aa cleavable C-terminal prosegment. The mature region shows six C2- type IG like domains (aa 26-593), followed by four fibronectin type III modules (aa 598-992). There is one potential alternate start site at Met128. Over aa 26-992, human Contactin-3 shares 92% aa identity with mouse Contactin‑3.
