Target intelligence / Profile preview
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
