Background
This gene encodes the receptor for reticulon 4, oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein and myelin-associated glycoprotein. This receptor mediates axonal growth inhibition and may play a role in regulating axonal regeneration and plasticity in the adult central nervous system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Receptor for RTN4, OMG and MAG. Mediates axonal growth inhibition and may play a role in regulating axonal regeneration and plasticity in the adult central nervous system.,online information:Nerve regrowth: nipped by a no-go - Issue 69 of April 2006,similarity:Belongs to the Nogo receptor family.,similarity:Contains 9 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.,subunit:Homomultimer. Interacts with LINGO1.,tissue specificity:Widespread in the brain but highest levels in the gray matter. Low levels in heart and kidney not expressed in oligodendrocytes (white matter).,
