Also known as: Npr
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]

What's a GeneRIF?

Results indicate that cerebral accumulation of NPR and Abeta occurs with similar temporal and regional patterns in the APP/PS1 model, and suggest that a 26 kDa plasma NPR fragment may represent a peripheral biomarker of this process

non-AUG translation initiation site. Comparison of rat determined N-terminal amino acid sequence with cDNA sequence indicates that a CUG codon is used as an initiator codon and codes for a methionine. The CTG is present in cDNAs of mouse, rat, and human.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
