Description: IL-16 Antibody: IL-16 was initially identified as a chemotactic cytokine, but is now known to possess a wide range of activities. Later studies have more fully characterized IL-16 as an immunomodulatory cytokine that contributes to the regulatory process of CD4+ T cell recruitment and activation at sites of inflammation in association with asthma and several autoimmune diseases. The precursor of IL-16 (pro-IL-16) is thought to be cleaved towards the C-terminal region by Caspase-3, releasing a 20 kDa active form that binds to and signals through CD4. Besides acting as a chemotactic cytokine, IL-16 is thought to also be involved in the regulation of T cell proliferation and multiple infectious, immune-mediated, and autoimmune inflammatory disorders including irritable bowel syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and neurodegenerative disorders. At least two isoforms of IL-16 are known to exist; the longer isoform (also known as NIL-16) is detected only in neurons of the cerebellum and hippocampus.

Description: CHGA is a member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins. It is found in secretory vesicles of neurons and endocrine cells. Its gene's product is a precursor to three biologically active peptides; vasostatin, pancreastatin, and parastatin. These peptides act as autocrine or paracrine negative modulators of the neuroendocrine system. Other peptides, including chromostatin, beta-granin, WE-14 and GE-25, are also derived from the full-length protein. However, biological activities for these molecules have not been shown.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins.

Description: CNRIP1 Antibody: The CNRIP1 (cannabinoid receptor interacting protein 1) protein is a G-protein coupled receptor which interacts with the C-terminal tail of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and is thought to play a role in synaptic plasticity, analgesia, appetite, and neuroprotection. One isoform of CNRIP1, CNRIP1a, modulates the constitutive CB1 receptor activity in the central nervous system (CNS), while the role of the shorter isoform CNRIP1b is yet unknown. CNRIP1 has been suggested as a potential target for CNS drug discovery.

Description: DOPA decarboxylase (DDC) belongs to the group II decarboxylase family of proteins. It is an important protein in the catecholamine biosynthesis pathway. DDC catalyzes the second reaction in the biosynthesis of catecholamines, trace amines and serotonin (1,2). It can form a homodimer and is expressed in the central nervous system. DDC can be used as markers for dopaminergic, noradrenergic and serotonergic neurons in a variety of applications including depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, neuroendocrine tumors and drug abuse. Defects in DDC gene may cause the autosomal recessive disorder AADC deficiency.

Description: TLX2 Antibody: The Hox proteins play a role in patterns of embryonic development and cellular differentiation by regulating downstream target genes. TLX2, also known as homeobox11-like 1 (HOX11L1), is a DNA-binding nuclear transcription factor that appears to be crucial for the development of the peripheral nervous system. TLX2 is a downstream target of regulation by both PHOX2A and PHOX2B proteins during intestinal neuronal differentiation. In humans, loss-of-function of TLX2 may play a role in tumorigenesis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Description: RTN4RL2 Antibody: Reticulon 4 receptor-like 2 (RTN4RL2), also known as NgR2and NgRH1, is a 60 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein that is expressed primarily in the brain. It contains eight leucine-rich repeats that are flanked by cysteine-rich sequences at both the N- and C-termini. The membrane anchored RTN4RL2 can be solubilized through the action of phospholipase or an unidentified MTMMP to generate a 46 kDa soluble receptor. It has been suggested that RTN4RL2 may play a role in regulating axonal regeneration and plasticity in the adult central nervous system.

Description: CD160, also known as BY55, is a lipid-anchored cell membrane glycoprotein that contains one immunoglobulin-like domain. It is expressed in small intestine, spleen and functional NK and T cytotoxic lymphocytes (1,2). CD160 exists as a disulfide-linked homomultimer that functions as a receptor for MHC (major histocompatability complex) molecules and is thought to regulate the function of NK cells. Additionally, CD160 interacts with TNFRSF14 and, via this interaction, is able to negatively regulate CD4+ T cell activation, indicating a role in immune system regulation.

PTHR2 may be responsible for PTH effects in a number of physiological systems. It may play a significant role in pancreatic function. PTHR2 presence in neurons indicates that it may function as a neurotransmitter receptor. SUBUNIT: Binds to TIPF39/TIP39. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Abundantly expressed in brain, arterial and cardiac endothelium. Found as well in sperm, in the head of the epididymis. Lower expression is found in vascular smooth muscle, exocrine pancreas, testis and placenta. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family.

Description: Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by ataxia and selective neuronal cell loss. SCA is caused by the expansion of a translated CAG repeat, encoding a polyglutamine tract in SCA gene products, known as ataxins. The ataxin proteins are ubiquitously expressed in nervous tissue, but are primarily detected in cerebellum, brain stem and spinal cord in the central nervous system. Ataxin-10 is a cytoplasmic protein that belongs to the family of armadillo repeat proteins. A loss of ataxin-10 in primary neuronal cells causes increased apoptosis of cerebellar neurons. Ataxin-10 interacts with p110, an O-Linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine transferase, and may be important in the regulation of intracellular glycosylation levels and homeostasis in the brain. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10) is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes cerebellar ataxia and seizures. SCA10 is caused by an expansion of an ATTCT pentanucleotide repeat in intron 9 of the ataxin-10 gene.

Description: The Testican family, also designated the BM-40/SPARC/osteonectin family, is composed of highly conserved, extracellular, calcium-binding, sulfate proteoglycans. Expression of Testicans is detected in a variety of tissues, but is most abundant in brain. Family members include Testican-1, Testican-2, Testican-3 and an amino-terminal splice variant of Testican-3, designated N-Tes. Most Testicans inhibit MT-MMPs, thereby inhibiting the activity of pro-MMP-2. Testican-2 is expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), with widespread expression in the olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex, thalamus, hippocampus, cerebellum and medulla, and is also found in lung and testis. Testican-2 is unique in that it actually abolishes the inhibition of MT-MMPs by other testican family members and specifically inactivates N-Tes by binding to its COOH-terminal extracellular calcium-binding domain. Testican-2 halts neurite growth from cerebellar neurons and may be involved in regu-lating the development of the CNS.

Description: A mutation of the DYT1 gene, which codes for TorsinA, has been identified as the cause of one form of autosomal dominantly inherited dystonia. Early-onset torsion dystonia is a movement disorder, characterized by twisting muscle contractures, that begins in childhood. Symptoms are believed to result from altered neuronal communication in the basal ganglia. TorsinA comprises 332 amino acids. TorsinA is widely expressed throughout the mouse central nervous system and is detected in the majority of neurons in nearly all regions. The proteins display cytoplasmic distribution, although in some types of neurons localization is perinuclear. TorsinA often performs chaperone-like functions that assist in the assembly, operation, or dis-assembly of protein complexes. The gene which encodes TorsinA has high homology to three additional mammalian genes and a nematode gene and distal similarity to the family of heat-shock proteins and the Clp protease family. The gene which encodes TorsinA maps to human chromosome 9q34.
