physiological function | glutathione S-transferase pull-down and immunoprecipitation analyses indicate that contactin-associated protein 2 is associated with carboxypeptidase E in vitro and in vivo. Both contactin-associated protein 2 and carboxypeptidase E are expressed predominantly in the CNS. Immunohistochemical analysis reveals that both contactin-associated protein 2- and carboxypeptidase E-like immunoreactivities are found to co-localize in the apical dendrites and cell bodies of rat cortical neurons. In subcellular localization analysis, contactin-associated protein 2- and carboxypeptidase E-like immunoreactivities are co-migrated in the fractions of Golgi/ER. The membrane-bound form of carboxypeptidase E functions as a sorting receptor of prohormones in the trans-Golgi network. Carboxypeptidase E may be a key molecule to regulate contactin-associated protein 2 trafficking to the cell membrane | Homo sapiens |
