Anti-CNTNAP2 antibody produced in rabbit

Contactin associated protein-like 2 (CNTNAP2) controls the spatial clustering of voltage-gated potassium channels Kv1.1 and Kv1.2. It has been reported that alteration in the CNTNAP2 gene expression causes mental retardation, autistic behavior, seizures and microcephaly.

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 associated with potassium channels. It may play a role in the local differentiation of the axon into distinct functional subdomains. This gene encompasses almost 1.5% of chromosome 7 and is one of the largest genes in the human genome. It may represent a positional candidate gene for the DFNB13 form of nonsyndromic deafness. (provided by RefSeq)
