(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID81005
Official gene symbolNptxr
Full nameneuronal pentraxin receptor
AliasesNpr
Gene summaryThe 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]
