Western blot - Anti-Caspr antibody [EPR7828] (AB133634)

Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab133634 observed at 175 kDa. Red - loading control, ab18058, observed at 130 kDa.

ab133634 was shown to recognize Caspr in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in CNTNAP1 (Caspr) knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and CNTNAP1 (Caspr) knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab133634 and ab18058 (Mouse anti-Vinculin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Supplementary information

Caspr also known as contactin-associated protein 1 (CNTNAP1) is a transmembrane protein important for axonal function. It is approximately 190 kDa in size. Caspr is expressed mainly in neurons specifically at the paranodal regions of myelinated axons. This location is important for nerve impulse propagation demonstrating its structural and functional roles in the nervous system.
Biological function summary

Caspr interacts with other proteins at the paranodes forming a complex with contactin and Neurofascin 155. This complex contributes to the insulation and maintenance of the nerve's myelin sheath. By ensuring proper node of Ranvier organization Caspr supports efficient saltatory conduction. The protein's interaction within these complexes allows axons to transmit signals rapidly and accurately.

Pathways

Caspr plays an important role in the maintenance of nervous system architecture and function. It is integral to the axoglial junctions and participates in the clustering and distribution of ion channels which are essential components of the nervous system. Caspr regulates these processes by interacting with proteins such as contactin and Neurofascin facilitating the communication and signaling pathways necessary for nervous system homeostasis.

Caspr dysfunction is linked to conditions such as multiple sclerosis and hereditary neuropathies. Abnormalities in Caspr or its associated complexes can lead to myelination defects and impaired nerve transmission. The protein's involvement in these diseases often relates to its association with contactin and other neuronal proteins highlighting its significance not only in healthy nervous system function but also in pathologies that affect nerve conduction.

Target data

Required, with CNTNAP2, for radial and longitudinal organization of myelinated axons. Plays a role in the formation of functional distinct domains critical for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses in myelinated nerve fibers. Demarcates the paranodal region of the axo-glial junction. In association with contactin involved in the signaling between axons and myelinating glial cells.
