Specificity

CASK. The immunogen protein represents a CASK-specific domain that lies between the calmodulin binding and PDZ domains. MAB5230 exhibits a specific reaction to the two alternatively spliced isoforms of CASK present in the mammalian CNS, the CASK-B or long (~900 amino acid) isoform present in rat brain membrane preparations, and the soluble CASK-A or short (~600 amino acid) isoform.CASK is a synapse-associated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that also contains PDZ, SH3 and guanylate kinase domains. CASK is thought to play a critical role in synaptic vesicle exocytosis and synaptic junctions.

Immunogen

CASK-GST fusion protein (amino acids 318-415).

Application

Anti-CASK Antibody, clone K56A is an antibody against CASK for use in WB, IC, IH.

Functional synapse formation requires tight coordination between pre- and post-synaptic termini. Previous studies have shown that postsynaptic expression of heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-2 (SDC2) induces dendritic spinogenesis. Those SDC2-induced dendritic spines are frequently associated with presynaptic termini. However, how postsynaptic

Three groups of evolutionarily conserved proteins have been implicated in the establishment of epithelial cell polarity: the apically-localized proteins of the Par (Par3-Par6-aPKC-Cdc42) and Crumbs groups (Crb3-PALS1-PATJ) and the basolaterally localized proteins of the Dlg group (Dlg1-Scribble-Lgl).
