Rabbit Anti-CLSTN2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Members of the calsyntenin protein family are localized to the post-synaptic membrane of exicitatory central nervous system (CNS) synapses. Calsyntenin-2, also known as Alcadein-gamma, is a 955 amino acid protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus and plasma membranes. Containing 2 cadherin-like repeats in its N-terminal extracellular region, calsyntenin-2 binds synaptic calcium with its cytoplasmic domain, suggesting a role in the modulation of calcium-mediated postsynaptic signals. Under normal physiological conditions, calsyntenin-2 is protoeolytically processed in an event in which the primary zeta-cleavage generates a short SLCterminal transmembrane fragment and a long extracellular N-terminal domain.
Function:
May modulate calcium-mediated postsynaptic signals.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein (Potential). Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Golgi apparatus membrane. Note=Most prominent in the postsynaptic specializations of asymmetric (type I) synapses with both axodendritic and axospinous localization (By similarity).
Tissue Specificity:
Restricted to the brain.
Post-translational modifications:
Proteolytically processed under normal cellular conditions. A primary zeta-cleavage generates a large extracellular (soluble) N-terminal domain (sAlc) and a short SLCterminal transmembrane fragment (CTF1). A secondary cleavage catalyzed by gamma-secretase within the transmembrane domain releases the beta-Alc-gamma chain in the extracellular milieu and produces an intracellular fragment (AlcICD). This processing is strongly suppressed in the tripartite complex formed with APBA2 and APP, which seems to prevent the association with PSEN1.
Similarity:
Contains 2 cadherin domains.
