Biological background
CNTNAP2 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Plays a role in various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation and cell survival. The upstream activator of MAPK7 is the MAPK kinase MAP2K5. Upon activation, it translocates to the nucleus and phosphorylates various downstream targets including MEF2C. EGF activates MAPK7 through a Ras- independent and MAP2K5-dependent pathway. May have a role in muscle cell differentiation. May be important for endothelial function and maintenance of blood vessel integrity. MAP2K5 and MAPK7 interact specifically with one another and not with MEK1/ERK1 or MEK2/ERK2 pathways. Phosphorylates SGK1 at Ser-78 and this is required for growth factor-induced cell cycle progression. Involved in the regulation of p53/TP53 by disrupting the PML-MDM2 interaction. . Reported cellular localization context: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Nucleus, PML body. Translocates to the nucleus upon activation. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in many adult tissues. Abundant in heart, placenta, lung, kidney and skeletal muscle. Not detectable in liver. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Intracellular Signaling,Kinases,MAPK Pathway,Neural Signal Transduction,Neurology Process,Neuroscience,Neurotransmission,Protein Phosphorylation,Ser/Thr Kinases,Signal Transduction.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate CNTNAP2 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect CNTNAP2 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect CNTNAP2 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 160 kDa; calculated MW: 88386 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
