Recombinant Human Noelin (OLFM1)

Uniprot Id

Q99784

Target Species

Human

Target Name

OLFM1

Target Full Name

Noelin

Target Function

Contributes to the regulation of axonal growth in the embryonic and adult central nervous system by inhibiting interactions between RTN4R and LINGO1. Inhibits RTN4R-mediated axon growth cone collapse. May play an important role in regulating the production of neural crest cells by the neural tube. May be required for normal responses to olfactory stimuli.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted. Cell junction, synapse. Endoplasmic reticulum. Cell projection, axon. Perikaryon.

Target Synonyms

AMY; NEUROBLASTOMA PROTEIN; Neuronal olfactomedin-related ER localized protein; Noe1; NOE1_HUMAN; Noel; Noel1; Noelin; Noelin1; OlfA; Olfactomedin 1; Olfactomedin-1; Olfm1; Pancortin 1; Pancortin

Target Background

This gene product shares extensive sequence similarity with the rat neuronal olfactomedin-related ER localized protein. While the exact function of the encoded protein is not known, its abundant expression in brain suggests that it may have an essential role in nerve tissue. Several alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
