Reticulon-4 (RTN4)

Target
RTN4
Molecular classification
Reticulon family protein, Endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein
01

Overview

Reticulon-4 (RTN4), also known as Nogo, is a multifunctional protein that plays critical roles in both neural development and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) morphology. It inhibits neurite outgrowth and regulates ER structure and calcium homeostasis, making it a therapeutic target for spinal cord injuries, stroke, and cancer.

Other names
NogoNeurite outgrowth inhibitor
