NRN1 - neuritin 1 Gene
Also Known as NRN; dJ380B8.2
Species: Homo sapiens
About NRN1
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in brain (RPKM 29.3), fat (RPKM 22.7) and 14 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the neuritin family, and is expressed in postmitotic-differentiating neurons of the developmental nervous system and neuronal structures associated with plasticity in the adult. The expression of this gene can be induced by neural activity and neurotrophins. The encoded protein contains a consensus cleavage signal found in glycosylphoshatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. The encoded protein promotes neurite outgrowth and arborization, suggesting its role in promoting neuritogenesis. Overexpression of the encoded protein may be associated with astrocytoma progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
