NPTN Polyclonal Antibody
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a type I transmembrane protein belonging to the Ig superfamily. The protein is believed to be involved in cell-cell interactions or cell-substrate interactions. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
Uniprot Description
neuroplastin: Probable homophilic and heterophilic cell adhesion molecule involved in long term potentiation at hippocampal excitatory synapses through activation of p38MAPK. May also regulate neurite outgrowth by activating the FGFR1 signaling pathway. May play a role in synaptic plasticity. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Cell development/differentiation
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 15q22
Cellular Component: presynaptic membrane; cell surface; integral to membrane
Molecular Function: cell adhesion molecule binding; transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity; ATP binding; type 1 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding
Biological Process: elevation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration; peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; positive regulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of protein amino acid phosphorylation; homophilic cell adhesion; positive regulation of long-term neuronal synaptic plasticity; transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway
