CRMP-2 is an enzyme with dihydropyrimidinase activity. Plays a role in RhoA-dependent signaling, through interaction with and regulation of Rho kinase. Plays a role in neurogenesis. Aberrantly expressed in fetal Down syndrome brain. Miki Y., Science 266:66-71(1994).Smith T.M., Genome Res. 6:1029-1049(1996).Wilson C.A., Oncogene 14:1-16(1997).

Species
Homo Sapiens (Human)
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous levels of CRMP-2 only when phosphorylated at threonine 509.
Plays a role in neuronal development and polarity, as well as in axon growth and guidance, neuronal growth cone collapse and cell migration. Necessary for signaling by class 3 semaphorins and subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton. May play a role in endocytosis.
Protein Families
Metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily, Hydantoinase/dihydropyrimidinase family
Tissue Specificity
Ubiquitous.
Buffer
Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.

Format
liquid
Purification
Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy usi
