Retention of a cell adhesion complex at the paranodal junction requires the cytoplasmic region of Caspr

An axonal complex of cell adhesion molecules consisting of Caspr and contactin has been found to be essential for the generation of the paranodal axo-glial junctions flanking the nodes of Ranvier. Here we report that although the extracellular region of Caspr was sufficient for directing it to the p...
