Recombinant Human NPTX2 Protein, MYC/DDK-tagged

• Cat.No.: NPTX2-1268H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human NPTX2 protein, fused to MYC/DDK tag at C-terminus, was expressed in HEK293.

Specification

• Description: 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]
