    text
  • anchored to membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum through its carboxy-terminal regions
  • localized in both endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi compartments in neurones
  • CRELD1 could partly change the localization of RTN3 from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane and modulate the apoptotic activity of RTN3 through binding with it
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in neuroendocrine secretion or in membrane trafficking in neuroendocrine cells
  • play an important role in modulating BACE1 activity and neuritic function
  • mark a distinct and abundant population of dystrophic neurites named RTN3 immunoreactive dystrophic neurites (RIDNs) in brains of Alzheimer disease (AD)
  • apoptosis-inducing protein
  • may play a role in the trafficking of the SALM (Synaptic adhesion-like molecules) family of adhesion molecules
  • negatively regulates autophagy to block the clearance of cytoplasmic PRNP aggregates

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with BACE1 (BACE1 mainly binds to the RTN monomer and disruption of the QID triplet does not interfere with the dimerization)
  • interacts with the beta-secretase, beta-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), and inhibits its activity to produce beta-amyloid protein
  • CRELD1 bound with RTN3 so as to increase the localization of RTN3 on the plasma membrane and decreased the apoptotic activity of RTN3 moderately
  • RTN3 has previously been shown to interact with BACE1 and negatively regulate BACE1 activity
