Calsyntenin 2 (CLSTN2) is a gene located on chromosome 3p22.2 that encodes a member of the calsyntenin family of proteins, which are characterized by their role in calcium binding and involvement in synaptic function and neural connectivity. CLSTN2 is predominantly expressed in the nervous system, where it contributes to synaptic organization and signaling processes essential for neural plasticity and cognitive functions. The protein is involved in mediating vesicular transport and axonal trafficking, influencing the establishment and maintenance of synaptic connections. Altered expression or mutations in CLSTN2 have been linked to neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, suggesting its significance in maintaining neural circuit stability and memory processes. Current research continues to explore CLSTN2's functional roles in neurobiology, with potential therapeutic implications for enhancing synaptic function and addressing neurodegenerative conditions.
