• Target description: 2′,3′-cyclic-nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (UniProt: P09543; also known as EC:3.1.4.37, CNP, CNPase) is encoded by the CNP gene (Gene ID: 1267) in human. CNPase is expressed at high levels in oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and in Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. It is the third most abundant protein in the central nervous system (CNS). It reportedly participates in RNA metabolism in myelinating cells. It can exist in monomeric as well as homodimeric form. CNPase dimer exists as a 46 kDa and 48 kDa subunits. It is involved in myelin formation and a significant reduction in CNPase activity is observed in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. It is one of the earliest proteins to be lost in these diseases. It is shown to be the predominant enzyme that metabolizes 2 ,3 -cAMP to 2-AMP in CNS. By reducing levels of 2 ,3 -cAMP and increasing levels of adenosine (a neuroprotectant), oligodendrocytes protect axons from injury. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
