Mouse Anti-Porcine Contactin 2 Monoclonal Antibody

Porcine contactin 2, also known as Tag-1 or axonin-1, is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. It plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of the nervous system by mediating cell-cell interactions and axonal guidance during neural development. Contactin 2 is particularly important for the proper formation and function of synapses, as well as for the myelination of axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. As a molecular target, Contactin 2 is significant due to its implications in neurological disorders and diseases characterized by aberrant neural connectivity or demyelination, such as multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and developmental disorders. Its role in synapse formation and myelin maintenance makes it a potential therapeutic target for enhancing neural repair and plasticity.
