RTN4R, also known as reticulon-4 receptor, is a glycosylphosphoinositol (GPI)-anchored protein that belongs to the Nogo recptor family including three members. It is expressed predominantly in neurons and their axons in the central nervous systems (CNS). It may be proposed as a potential drug target for treatment of various neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury, CNS lesions, peripheral nerve injury, stroke and Alzheimers disease (AD). It may play a role in regulating the function of the gap junctions. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa27-447 from human RTN4R, fused to His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in insect cell.
