Anti-CNTNAP2 Antibody, clone 2D17 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

Contactin-associated protein-like 2 (UniProt: Q9UHC6; also known as Cell recognition molecule Caspr2, CNTNAP2) is encoded by the CNTNAP2 (also known as CASPR2, KIAA0868) gene (Gene ID: 26047) in human. CNTNAP2 is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein protein of the neurexin family that is predominantly expressed in the nervous system. It mediates synaptic cell adhesion and is required, with CNTNAP1, for radial and longitudinal organization of myelinated axons. It also plays a role in the formation of functional distinct domains that are critical for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses in myelinated nerve fibers. CNTNAP2 is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-27), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 28-1262), a transmembrane domain (aa 1263-1283), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1284-1331). Knockdown of CNTNAP2 in cortical cultures is shown to impair the development of spines. Mutations in CNTNAP2 gene are known to be associated with intellectual disability, epilepsy, schizophrenia, language disorders, and autism. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
