CLSTN2
Description
The CLSTN2 (calsyntenin 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 3.
Calsyntenin-2, also known as Alcadein-gamma, is a postsynaptic adhesion molecule that binds to presynaptic neurexins to mediate synapse formation and is involved in learning and memory. It promotes synapse development by acting as a cell adhesion molecule at the postsynaptic membrane, which associates with neurexin-alpha at the presynaptic membrane.
CLSTN2 is also known as ALC-GAMMA, CDHR13, CS2, CSTN2, alcagamma.
