About Nptx2

Summary

Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity and metal ion binding activity. Involved in neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is extrinsic component of postsynaptic specialization membrane. Orthologous to human NPTX2 (neuronal pentraxin 2).
