CRMP-2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This gene encodes a member of the collapsin response mediator protein family. Collapsin response mediator proteins form homo- and hetero-tetramers and facilitate neuron guidance, growth and polarity. The encoded protein promotes microtubule assembly and is required for Sema3A-mediated growth cone collapse, and also plays a role in synaptic signaling through interactions with calcium channels. This gene has been implicated in multiple neurological disorders, and hyperphosphorylation of the encoded protein may play a key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011], function:Necessary for signaling by class 3 semaphorins and subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton. Plays a role in axon guidance, neuronal growth cone collapse and cell migration., PTM:3F4, a monoclonal antibody which strongly stains neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer disease brains, specifically labels DPYSL2 when phosphorylated on Ser-518, Ser-522 and Thr-509., similarity:Belongs to the DHOase family. Hydantoinase/dihydropyrimidinase subfamily., subunit:Homotetramer, and heterotetramer with CRMP1, DPYSL3, DPYSL4 or DPYSL5 (By similarity) . Interacts through its C-terminus with the C-terminus of CYFIP1/SRA1. Interacts with HTR4., tissue specificity:Ubiquitous.
