Neurofascin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NFASC gene.[5][6][7]

Function

Neurofascin is an L1 family immunoglobulin cell adhesion molecule (see L1CAM) involved in axon subcellular targeting and synapse formation during neural development.[7][8]

Clinical importance

A homozygous mutation causing loss of Nfasc155 causes severe congenital hypotonia, contractures of fingers and toes and no reaction to touch or pain.[9]
