basic FUNCTION
  • mediating the uptake of synaptic material and presynaptic toxins
  • NPTX1 hypermethylation and consequent mRNA changes might be an important molecular mechanism in lung cancer
  • NPTX1 plays a crucial role in promoting metastasis

    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY

    signaling
    a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • NPTX1 acts in neural induction from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in part by binding the NODAL receptor cofactor TDGF1, reducing both NODAL and BMP signaling
  • C1QL3 mediates a novel cell-cell adhesion complex involving ADGRB3 and two neuronal pentraxins, NPTX1 and NPTXR
  • cell & other
