General description
CASPR2 (Contactin-associated protein-like 2) belongs to CASPR family and neurexin superfamily.
Immunogen
peptide corresponding to amino acids residues 1315-1331 of human Caspr2.
Application
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.
Biochem/physiol Actions
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.
Physical form
Lyophilized from 0.4 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin, 5% sucrose, and ≤0.1% sodium azide.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental brain disorder. Mutations in synaptic components including synaptic adhesion molecules have been found in ASD patients. Contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) is one of the synaptic adhesion molecules associated with ASD. CASPR2 forms a

Voltage-dependent potassium channels regulate membrane excitability and cell-cell communication in the mammalian nervous system, and are found highly localized at distinct neuronal subcellular sites. Kv1 (mammalian Shaker family) potassium channels and the neurexin Caspr2, both of which contain COOH-terminal PDZ

Rapid conduction in myelinated axons depends on the generation of specialized subcellular domains to which different sets of ion channels are localized. Here, we describe the identification of Caspr2, a mammalian homolog of Drosophila Neurexin IV (Nrx-IV), and show that

The NCP family of cell-recognition molecules represents a distinct subgroup of the neurexins that includes Caspr and Caspr2, as well as Drosophila Neurexin-IV and axotactin. Here, we report the identification of Caspr3 and Caspr4, two new NCPs expressed in nervous

Caspr/paranodin, a neuronal transmembrane glycoprotein, is essential for the structure and function of septate-like paranodal axoglial junctions at nodes of Ranvier. A closely related protein, Caspr2, is concentrated in juxtaparanodal regions where it associates indirectly with the shaker-type potassium channels.
