CNTN2: A Key Protein in The Development and Maintenance of The Axon
CNTN2 (Axonal Glycoprotein TAG-1) is a protein that is expressed in the axons of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). It is a member of the glycoprotein family, which is a type of protein that consists of at least 25% glycine. CNTN2 is also known as axonal glycoprotein TAG-1 (TAG-1) and is a key protein in the development and maintenance of the axon.
The axon is the structural and functional integrity of the nervous system, and it is responsible for transmitting signals from the brain to the rest of the body. The axon is composed of a number of proteins, including CNTN2, which plays a critical role in its structure and function.
CNTN2 is a transmembrane protein that is expressed in the axons of neurons in the CNS. It is located at the end of the axon and is involved in the formation and maintenance of the axon integrity. CNTN2 is a key protein in the development and maintenance of the axon, and it is involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes that are important for the survival and function of the axon.
CNTN2 is involved in the regulation of the cytoskeleton, which is the structure that gives the axon its shape. It does this by interacting with a variety of cytoskeletonal proteins, including microtubules and actin. CNTN2 is also involved in the regulation of the cytoskeleton in the development of the axon, and it is thought to play a key role in the regulation of cell division and the formation of the axon.
CNTN2 is also involved in the regulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the axon. The ECM is the protein that makes up the matrix that surrounds the axon and helps to maintain its structural integrity. CNTN2 is thought to be involved in the regulation of the ECM in the development of the axon, and it is possible that it plays a key role in the regulation of the ECM in the maintenance of the axon.
CNTN2 is also involved in the regulation of a number of signaling pathways that are important for the survival and function of the axon. For example, it is thought to be involved in the regulation of the neurotrophin signaling pathway, which is a critical pathway that is involved in the regulation of brain development and function. CNTN2 is also involved in the regulation of the mitochondrial signaling pathway, which is involved in the regulation of energy metabolism.
CNTN2 is also involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes that are important for the survival and function of the axon. For example, it is thought to be involved in the regulation of the production and degradation of the cytoskeleton, as well as the regulation of the transport of vesicles and organelles in the axon.
CNTN2 is also involved in the regulation of the development and progression of the axon. For example, it is thought to play a key role in the regulation of the number of axons that develop in the CNS, as well as the regulation of the distance between the axons.
CNTN2 is also involved in the regulation of the regulation of the axon. For example, it is thought to play a key role in the regulation of the stability of the axon, as well as the regulation of its growth and differentiation.
CNTN2 is a key protein in the development and maintenance of the axon, and it is involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes that are important for the survival and function of the axon. As a result, CNTN2 is a potential drug target for the development of new treatments for a variety of neurological disorders, including
Protein Name: Contactin 2
Functions: In conjunction with another transmembrane protein, CNTNAP2, contributes to the organization of axonal domains at nodes of Ranvier by maintaining voltage-gated potassium channels at the juxtaparanodal region. May be involved in cell adhesion
