| Species: | Human |
| Target: | NRN1 |
| Synonyms: | Neuritin 1, NRN1, NRN, dJ380B8.2, Neuritin. |
| Source: | Escherichia Coli |
| Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation: | The NRN1 was lyophilized from a 0.2�m filtered concentrated solution in 1�PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized NRN1 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100�g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability: | Lyophilized NRN1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution NRN1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |

Neuritin (NRN1) is a neurotrophic factor, which is expressed in response to induction of neuronal activity by NGF, BDNF, NT3 and other neural stimulators. NRN1 is expressed principally in postmitotic-differentiating neurons of the developing nervous system and in neuronal structures related to synaptic plasticity in the adult nervous system. NRN1 functions as a molecular mediator of neurite outgrowth, neuronal survival, and synaptic maturation.
Recombinant Human NRN1 produced in E.coli cells is a non-glycosylated, homodimeric protein containing 2x88 amino acid chains and having a molecular mass of 19.4kDa. The NRN1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the neuritin family, and is expressed in postmitotic-differentiating neurons of the developmental nervous system and neuronal structures associated with plasticity in the adult. The expression of this gene can be induced by neural activity and neurotrophins. The encoded protein contains a consensus cleavage signal found in glycosylphoshatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. The encoded protein promotes neurite outgrowth and arborization, suggesting its role in promoting neuritogenesis. Overexpression of the encoded protein may be associated with astrocytoma progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013] |
