Background
The ninjurin protein is upregulated after nerve injury both in dorsal root ganglion neurons and in Schwann cells (Araki and Milbrandt, 1996 [PubMed 8780658]). It demonstrates properties of a homophilic adhesion molecule and promotes neurite outgrowth from primary cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons.[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2009],
Function
function:Homophilic cell adhesion molecule that promotes axonal growth. May play a role in nerve regeneration and in the formation and function of other tissues. Cell adhesion requires divalent cations.,induction:By nerve injury both in dorsal root ganglion neurons and in Schwann cells.,similarity:Belongs to the ninjurin family.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed in both adult and embryonic tissues, primarily those of epithelial origin.,
