>95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by silver stain
Endotoxin Level
<0.10 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity
Measured by its ability to enhance neurite outgrowth of E16-E18 rat embryonic cortical neurons. Optimal neurite outgrowth was observed when neurons were plated on 96-well culture plates that had been pre-coated with 50 µL/well of the recombinant human Contactin-2 solution at 6-24 μg/mL.

Background: Contactin-3
Contactin-3, also known as BIG-1 and PANG, is a 150 kDa member of the TAG/F3 subgroup of Contactin neuronal adhesion proteins (1, 2). Mature human Contactin-3 consists of six immunoglobulin-like domains, a flexible linker region, four fibronectin type III domains, and a GPI anchor (3, 4). Human Contactin-3 shares 92% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat Contactin-3. Contactin-3 is primarily expressed in the brain in discrete regions including the frontal lobe, occipital lobe, cerebellum, amygdala, and hippocampus (5, 6). Alternative splicing in rat may generate a soluble isoform (4). Mouse plasmacytoma cell lines produce multiple transcripts of Contactin-3 due to the presence of IAP proviruses (3). Immobilized Contactin-3 promotes neurite outgrowth from rat hippocampal neurons (4).
