Background
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],
Function
cofactor:Binds 2 calcium ions per subunit.,function:May mediate uptake of degraded synaptic material which could play an important role in synaptic remodeling. Can mediate the neuronal and glial uptake of the snake venom toxin taipoxin.,similarity:Contains 1 pentaxin domain.,
