Background

Caspr2 (CNTNAP2, Contactin-associated protein-like 2 and Cell recognition molecule Caspr2) is a 160-170 kDa glycoprotein, a member of the neurexin family of proteins.  It is predominantly expressed in nervous system and likely play a role in the formation of functional distinct domains critical for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses in myelinated nerve fibers. Seems to demarcate the juxtaparanodal region of the axo-glial junction. Caspr2 and closely related molecule Caspr/Paranodin demarcate distinct subdomains in myelinated axons. While contactin-associated protein (Caspr) is present at the paranodal junctions, Caspr2 is precisely colocalized with Shaker-like K+ channels in the juxtaparanodal region.  Over aa 29-1262, human CASPR2 shares 94% aa sequence identity with mouse Caspr2.
