Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from mouse Contactin5 conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen.
Accession
Also known
NB-2, contactin 5, CNTN5, Neural recognition molecule NB-2
Target
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored neuronal membrane protein that functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It may play a role in the formation of axon connections in the developing nervous system. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
FUNCTION: Contactins mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Has some neurite outgrowth-promoting activity in the cerebral cortical neurons but not in hippocampal neurons. Involved in neuronal activity in the auditory system.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the nervous system. Preferentially expressed in the central auditory pathways.
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Specifically expressed in the postnatal nervous system, reaching a maximum level at 3 weeks postnatal.
Storage
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
Expiry Date
