Rabbit anti-Human CLSTN1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O94985

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CLSTN1

Target Full Name

Calsyntenin-1

Target Function

Induces KLC1 association with vesicles and functions as a cargo in axonal anterograde transport. Complex formation with APBA2 and APP, stabilizes APP metabolism and enhances APBA2-mediated suppression of beta-APP40 secretion, due to the retardation of intracellular APP maturation. In complex with APBA2 and C99, a C-terminal APP fragment, abolishes C99 interaction with PSEN1 and thus APP C99 cleavage by gamma-secretase, most probably through stabilization of the direct interaction between APBA2 and APP. The intracellular fragment AlcICD suppresses APBB1-dependent transactivation stimulated by APP C-terminal intracellular fragment (AICD), most probably by competing with AICD for APBB1-binding. May modulate calcium-mediated postsynaptic signals.

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane. Cell projection, neuron projection. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Nucleus.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in the brain and, a lower level, in the heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and placenta. Accumulates in dystrophic neurites around the amyloid core of Alzheimer disease senile plaques (at protein level).

Target Background

This gene is a member of the calsyntenin family, a subset of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded transmembrane protein, also known as alcadein-alpha, is thought to bind to kinesin-1 motors to mediate the axonal anterograde transport of certain types of vesicle. Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is trafficked via these vesicles and so this protein is being investigated to see how it might contribute to the mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
