About NPTX2

Cytogenetic location: 7q22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 7:98,617,285-98,629,869 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 274 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 31.6), testis (RPKM 20.6) and 4 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the family of neuronal petraxins, synaptic proteins that are related to C-reactive protein. This protein is involved in excitatory synapse formation. It also plays a role in clustering of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors at established synapses, resulting in non-apoptotic cell death of dopaminergic nerve cells. Up-regulation of this gene in Parkinson disease (PD) tissues suggests that the protein may be involved in the pathology of PD. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
