    Product Description

    Contactin-5 is a neural cell adhesion molecule and member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily.1 It is composed of six Ig-like repeats, four fibronectin type III-like domains, and a hydrophobic C-terminal sequence that contains a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor site. Contactin-5 is primarily expressed in the occipital lobe, amygdala, cerebral cortex, frontal lobe, thalamus, and temporal lobe of the brain but is also expressed in the thyroid.2 It is involved in neurodevelopment, arborization, and sensory terminal function and interacts with amyloid-β precursor-like protein 1 (APLP-1), protein tyrosine phosphatase γ (PTPγ), and contactin-associated protein-like 4 (CNTNAP4).1,3 A SNP in CNTN5, the gene encoding contactin-5, is associated with increased risk and disease progression in patients with sporadic Alzheimer’s disease.4 Cayman’s Contactin-5 Long Isoform (human, recombinant) protein consists of 1,052 amino acids, has a calculated molecular weight of 116 kDa, and a predicted N-terminus of Glu19 after signal peptide cleavage. By SDS-PAGE, under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of the protein is 130-140 kDa due to glycosylation.
