Scientific Background | Contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) is a transmembrane cell adhesion protein in the neurexin family known to regulate formation of distinct axonal domains in myelinated neurons (1). It is primarily localized in the paranodal section of the myelin sheath, where it forms a complex with Contactin-2 (Tag1) to cluster voltage-gated potassium (Kv1) channels (2,3,4). Caspr2 also interacts with protein 4.1B, which links the Kv1 channel complex to the axonal cytoskeleton (3,4). CASPR2 autoimmunity, a disorder targeting epitopes of CASPR2 protein, is thought to contribute to brain and peripheral neuropathy by destroying axon potassium current (5). |

Western blot analysis with Stressmarq’s Rabbit Anti-CASPR2 Monoclonal Antibody, Clone FF19 (SMC-623) showing detection of Human CASPR2 protein in a transient over-expression (OE) lysate (OriGene LY402278). Block: 2% skim milk + 2% BSA for 1 hour at RT. Primary Antibody: Rabbit Anti-Human CASPR2 Recombinant Monoclonal [FF19] (SMC-623) at 1:1000 for 2 hours at RT. Secondary Antibody: Goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (H&L) at 1:5000 for 1 hour at RT. Color Development: Chemiluminescent for HRP (Moss) for 30 sec at RT in the dark. Exposed 1 second. NOTE: The ORF clone contains a C-term DDK tag; results were confirmed using Anti-DDK antibody (OriGene TA592569), showing laddering below target is related to C-term fragments of the CASPR2 protein (data not shown).
