Nptxr - neuronal pentraxin receptor Gene

Also Known as Npr

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 81005

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein, and functions as a neuronal receptor. It 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 site is also conserved in human and mouse. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
