Neurite Outgrowth Inhibitor (NogoA), also known as Reticulon-4 (RTN4), a member of a family of integral membrane proteins termed reticulons.
Research indicates that reticulons are involved in various neurodegenerative diseases.
Reticulon proteins have been demonstrated to regulate many cellular processes and interact with multiple proteins and receptors such as BACE.
NogoA was initially identified as a myelin-associated neurite outgrowth inhibitor.
It is highly expressed in oligodendrocytes in the white matter of the CNS.
Experimentation by blocking its activity with antibodies or other factors results in improved axon regrowth and functional recovery in experimental CNS lesion models.
NogoA has also been suggested to play a role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,and multiple sclerosis.
Despite its predicted molecular weight, NogoA typically migrates at 180kD in an SDS-PAGE.
Five isoforms of Nogo have currently been identified.
