Anti-Contactin-2 Antibody

Raised in rabbit as an unconjugated polyclonal reagent targeting the Contactin-2 cell-surface adhesion protein, this primary antibody from Antibodies.com is supplied at 1 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 15 mM sodium azide at approximately pH 7.2. Contactin-2, also referred to as TAG-1 or TAX, is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is expressed on neurons and implicated in axon guidance, paranodal junction formation, and Notch receptor signalling.

The 100 µl aliquot is validated for Western blot application on samples from human, mouse, and rat, with reactivity demonstrated against endogenous protein in these three species. Researchers use this reagent to study myelination, oligodendrocyte biology, and the molecular basis of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disease. For research use only; the unconjugated format allows flexible pairing with secondary antibodies and custom detection chemistries.
