General structure of the contactins.
The six members of the contactin sub-family share a common structure in vertebrates. The extracellular component has immunoglobulin-like domains followed by four fibronectin III-like domains. The protein is attached to the plasma membrane with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor and there is no intracellular domain.
