HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with (A) human Caspr2 or (B) irrelevant transfectants and eGFP was stained with Mouse Anti-Human Caspr2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5145) followed by APC-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0101B). Quadrant markers were set based on control antibody staining (Catalog # MAB002). View our protocol for Staining Membrane-associated Proteins.

Background: Caspr2

Caspr2 (CNTNAP2, Contactin-associated protein-like 2 and Cell recognition molecule Caspr2) is a 160-170 kDa glycoprotein, a member of the neurexin family of proteins. It is predominantly expressed in nervous system and likely play a role in the formation of functional distinct domains critical for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses in myelinated nerve fibers. Seems to demarcate the juxtaparanodal region of the axo-glial junction. Caspr2 and closely related molecule Caspr/Paranodin demarcate distinct subdomains in myelinated axons. While contactin-associated protein (Caspr) is present at the paranodal junctions, Caspr2 is precisely colocalized with Shaker-like K+ channels in the juxtaparanodal region. Over aa 29-1262, human CASPR2 shares 94% aa sequence identity with mouse Caspr2.
