Source: NCBI Gene (ID 4884)
Symbol: NPTX1
Full name: neuronal pentraxin 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: NP1; SCA50
Summary: NPTX1 is a member of the neuronal pentraxin gene family. Neuronal pentraxin 1 is similar to the rat NP1 gene which encodes a binding protein for the snake venom toxin taipoxin. Human NPTX1 mRNA is exclusively localized to the nervous system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
