Summary
CNTNAP2 (contactin associated protein 2, HGNC:13830) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7q35-q36.1, encoding Contactin-associated protein-like 2 (Q9UHC6). Required for gap junction formation.
This gene encodes a member of the neurexin family which functions in the vertebrate nervous system as cell adhesion molecules and receptors. This protein, like other neurexin proteins, contains epidermal growth factor repeats and laminin G domains. In addition, it includes an F5/8 type C domain, discoidin/neuropilin- and fibrinogen-like domains, thrombospondin N-terminal-like domains and a putative PDZ binding site. This protein is localized at the juxtaparanodes of myelinated axons, and mediates interactions between neurons and glia during nervous system development and is also involved in localization of potassium channels within differentiating axons. This gene encompasses almost 1.5% of chromosome 7 and is one of the largest genes in the human genome. It is directly bound and regulated by forkhead box protein P2, a transcription factor related to speech and language development. This gene has been implicated in multiple neurodevelopmental disorders, including Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, schizophrenia, epilepsy, autism, ADHD and intellectual disability.

Disease relevance. Autism 15 (AUTS15) [MIM:612100] A complex multifactorial, pervasive developmental disorder characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication, restricted and stereotyped patterns of interests and activities, and the presence of developmental abnormalities by 3 years of age. Most individuals with autism also manifest moderate intellectual disability. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A chromosomal aberration involving CNTNAP2 is found in a patient with autism spectrum disorder. Paracentric inversion 46,XY,inv(7)(q11.22;q35). The inversion breakpoints disrupt the genes AUTS2 and CNTNAP2. Pitt-Hopkins-like syndrome 1 (PTHSL1) [MIM:610042] A syndrome characterized by severe intellectual disability and variable additional symptoms, such as impaired speech development, seizures, autistic behavior, breathing anomalies and a broad mouth, resembling Pitt-Hopkins syndrome. In contrast to patients with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, PTHSL1 patients present with normal or only mildly to moderately delayed motor milestones. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the neurexin family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 90 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
