一般描述
Contactin-5 (UniProt P68500; also known as Neural recognition molecule NB-2) is encoded by the Cntn5 gene (Gene ID 244682) in murine species. Contactin-5 (NB-2) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein belonging to a subgroup of the immunoglobulin superfamily of proteins known as contactins. Five of the six contactins, Contactin-1, contactin-2/TAG-1, contactin-3/BIG-1, contactin-4/BIG-2, and contactin-5/NB-2 are expressed by DRG neurons. Of these, contactin-1, TAG-1, and BIG-2, are also expressed by motor neurons. NB-2 plays an important role in synapse formation in the developing auditory system in rodents. Expression of NB-2 is seen in the central auditory pathways just before the onset of hearing in rodents and is localized at glutamatergic synapses in the postnatal auditory brainstem. NB-2-knockout mice exhibit abnormal responses to auditory stimuli in both neuronal excitability and behavior, and have delayed auditory brainstem response waves. In addition, NB-2 deficiency in mice causes a significant reduction in the number of synapses and induces apoptosis in a subset of neurons in the auditory brainstem. NB-2 is produced with an N-terminal signal peptide (a.a. 1-23) and a C-terminal propeptide (a.a. 1072-1098) sequence, the removal of which yields the mature GPI-anchored glycoprotein (a.a. 24-1071) with six C2-type Ig-like domains (a.a. 98-659) and four type-III fibronectin domains (a.a. 672-1066).
特异性

应用
Western Blotting Analysis: 2.0 ug/mL from a representative lot detected NB-2 in postnatal P14 and adult mouse brain tissue lysates (Courtesy of Dr. Yasushi Shimoda, PhD, Nagaoka University of Technology, Nagaoka, Japan).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected punctate NB-2 immunoreactivity on the dendrites of cultured embryonic E17 mouse hippocampal neurons. A partial overlap of NB-2 immunoreactivity with those of APLP1 and synapsin was seen (Shimoda, Y., et al. (2012). Neurosci. Lett. 510(2):148-153).
Immunofluorescence Analysis: A representative lot detected NB-2 immunoreactivity among parvalbumin-/PV-positive proprioceptive sensory neurons by fluorescent immunohistochemistry staining of postnatal day 6 (p6) mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cryosectoins (Ashrafi, S., et al. (2014). Neuron. 81(1):120-129).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected NB-2 in presynaptic preparations from the spinal cords of postnatal p6 to p7 mice (Ashrafi, S., et al. (2014). Neuron. 81(1):120-129).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected NB-2 in the synaptosomal fractions from mouse cerebral cortex homogenate (Shimoda, Y., et al. (2012). Neurosci. Lett. 510(2):148-153).
