Background

NPTXR (Neuronal Pentraxin Receptor; also NPR) is a 65 kDa, type II transmembrane glycoprotein that binds Neuronal Pentraxins 1 and 2. It is expressed on cerebellar Purkinje and granule cells, and hippocampal neurons of the CA1, CA3 and dentate gyrus regions. Human NPTXR is 499 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a two aa cytoplasmic tail, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 476 aa extracellular region with one Pentraxin domain (aa 295‑499). One alternate start site exists at Met12, and a 55 kDa soluble form (possibly beginning at Gln56) may be generated by proteolytic cleavage. Over aa 24‑499, human NPTXR is 87% aa identical to mouse NPTXR.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
