Anti-NPTXR / Neuronal pentraxin receptor

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Neuronal pentraxin receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NPTXR gene. This gene encodes a protein similar to the rat neuronal pentraxin receptor. The rat pentraxin receptor is an integral membrane protein that is thought to mediate neuronal uptake of the snake venom toxin, taipoxin, and its transport into the synapses. Studies in rat indicate that translation of this mRNA initiates at a non-AUG (CUG) codon. This may also be true for mouse and human, based on strong sequence conservation amongst these species. Protein function: May be involved in mediating uptake of synaptic material during synapse remodeling or in mediating the synaptic clustering of AMPA glutamate receptors at a subset of excitatory synapses.
