CNTN5/Contactin-5 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The CNTN5/Contactin-5 protein is a member of the contactin family and plays a crucial role in mediating cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Although it exhibits neurite growth-promoting activity in cerebral cortical neurons, it does not exhibit the same effect in hippocampal neurons, highlighting its cell type-specific function in neuronal growth. CNTN5/Contactin-5 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived CNTN5/Contactin-5 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Description

The CNTN5/Contactin-5 protein is a member of the contactin family and plays a crucial role in mediating cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Although it exhibits neurite growth-promoting activity in cerebral cortical neurons, it does not exhibit the same effect in hippocampal neurons, highlighting its cell type-specific function in neuronal growth. CNTN5/Contactin-5 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived CNTN5/Contactin-5 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

Contactin-5 (CNTN5) is a protein crucial for mediating cell surface interactions during nervous system development, emphasizing its role in the establishment of neural connections. It exhibits neurite outgrowth-promoting activity, particularly in cerebral cortical neurons, highlighting its involvement in the extension of neuronal processes during brain development (By similarity). Interestingly, this neurite outgrowth-promoting activity is not observed in hippocampal neurons, suggesting a context-dependent function. CNTN5 is also implicated in neuronal activity within the auditory system, underlining its diverse roles in various regions of the nervous system. Furthermore, CNTN5 interacts with PTPRG, suggesting potential involvement in signaling pathways or cellular adhesion during neural development. The multifaceted functions and interactions of Contactin-5 underscore its importance in orchestrating complex processes during nervous system development.

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of C6 Rat brain glial cells. When 5×104 cells/well are added to CNTN5 coated plates (2.5μg/mL and 100 μL/well), approximately 51.30% will adhere specifically after 60 minutes at 37°C.
