Pentraxins are a family of proteins emerging from genes that are conserved in their carboxy-terminal halves a pentraxin domain and are prototypical acute phase proteins with acquired novel amino-terminal domains. Pentraxins, include C reactive protein (CRP) and Serum Amyloid P component (SAP), which serve as indicators of inflammatory reactions as a result of the exposure of liver cells to cytokines, mainly interleukin-6 (IL-6). Neuronal Pentraxins: A new family of putative integral membrane pentraxins or Neuronal pentraxins identified through interaction with a presynaptic snake venom toxin taipoxin. NPX1, NPX2 and NPXR (Neuronal Pentraxin Receptor), the three neuronal pentraxins represent a novel neuronal uptake pathway that may function during synapse formation and remodeling. The N-terminal half of neuronal pentraxins are 20-30% identical to previously identified pentraxins (CRP and SAP), the three neuronal pentraxins are 50% identical to each other and are significantly larger than the classical pentraxins (>50 versus 30kDa), suggesting that they may have additional novel functions. NPXR1 (Neuronal Pentraxin Receptor 1) a 493aa protein in mouse, 494 in rat, and 499aa in human. The predominant form of NPXR contains a putative NH2 terminal transmembrane and all forms are glycosylated. It shows 49 and 48% homology with NPX1 and NPX2 respectively. NPXR message is expressed in neuronal regions that express NPX1 and NPX2. Source: 14aa peptide from Mouse NPXR1 (1) Location: ~C-terminus Species Sequence Homology: Human, rat-100%.
