Anti-Reticulon-4 receptor-like 2 RTN4RL2 Antibody

Reticulon 4 receptor-like 2 (RTN4RL2), also known as NgR2and NgRH1, is a 60 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein that is expressed primarily in the brain. It contains eight leucine-rich repeats that are flanked by cysteine-rich sequences at both the N- and C-termini. The membrane anchored RTN4RL2 can be solubilized through the action of phospholipase or an unidentified MTMMP to generate a 46 kDa soluble receptor. It has been suggested that RTN4RL2 may play a role in regulating axonal regeneration and plasticity in the adult central nervous system.

Three alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed. RTN4RL2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other Nogo receptor-like proteins.

Rabbit polyclonal RTN4RL2 antibody was raised against an 18 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human RTN4RL2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 330 - 380 of RTN4RL2.

Cell surface receptor that plays a functionally redundant role in the inhibition of neurite outgrowth mediated by MAG (By similarity) . Plays a functionally redundant role in postnatal brain development. Contributes to normal axon migration across the brain midline and normal formation of the corpus callosum. Does not seem to play a significant role in regulating axon regeneration in the adult central nervous system. Protects motoneurons against apoptosis; protection against apoptosis is probably mediated by MAG (By similarity) . Like other family members, plays a role in restricting the number dendritic spines and the number of synapses that are formed during brain development (PubMed:22325200) . Signaling mediates activation of Rho and downstream reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:22325200) .
