Background: Caspr2

Contactin Associated Protein-Like 2 (CASPR2), also known as Cntnap2, is a neuronal type I transmembrane member of the neurexin family of adhesion molecules (ref). CASPR2, along with CASPR1 (or Cntnap1), is required for radical and longitudinal organization of myelinated axons (1). Mature mouse CASPR2 consists of a large extracellular domain (ECD) containing four Laminin G-like domains as well as two EFG-like domains and a Fibrinogen C-terminal domain, a transmembrane segment, and a short cytoplasmic domain. The ECD of mouse CASPR2 shares 94% and 93% amino acid (aa) identity with the human and rat ECD, respectively. CASPR2 is thought to be important for the control of neuron-glia interactions and is associated with alterations in synaptic structure, neuronal network activity, and an autism-related phenotype in mice (2, 3). In myelinated nerves, CASPR2 is confined to the juxtaparanodal region of the axon where it appears to associate with the immunoglobulin domains of TAG-1 (transient axonal glycoprotein 1) to form a scaffold, which clusters the potassium channels Kv1.1 and Kv1.2 (4). Recent studies demonstrate that CASPR2 binds to contactin1 (5).
