Anti-Caspr2 antibody produced in rabbit

Anti-CASPR2 antibody has been used for immunohistochemitry and western blotting of proteins from mouse brain samples. It is also suitable for western blot analysis at a dilution of 1:200 by using rat brain membranes.

CASPR2 (Contactin-associated protein-like 2) associates shaker like K⁺ channels in the juxtaparanodal region flanking nodes of Ranvier. It is expressed in different and distinct regions of the central nervous system (CNS) where it may plays an important role in cell recognition. CASPR and CASPR2 may interact with the actin-based cytoskeleton through cytoskeleton-associated protein 4.1B. CASPR2 is crucial for synapse formation and outgrowth of axon and dendrite. CASPR2 forms a complex with G-protein-coupled receptor 37 (GPR37) and multiple PDZ domain protein 1 (MUPP1). Disruption of the complex is linked with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Genetic variations in CASPR2 are also associated with intellectual disability, epilepsy, schizophrenia and language disorders. It also regulates diet-induced obesity.
