Function

Cell-surface receptor involved in the development of the cardiovascular system, in angiogenesis, in the formation of certain neuronal circuits and in organogenesis outside the nervous system. Mediates the chemorepulsant activity of semaphorins (PubMed:10688880, PubMed:9288753, PubMed:9529250). Recognizes a C-end rule (CendR) motif R/KXXR/K on its ligands which causes cellular internalization and vascular leakage (PubMed:19805273). It binds to semaphorin 3A, the PLGF-2 isoform of PGF, the VEGF165 isoform of VEGFA and VEGFB (PubMed:10688880, PubMed:19805273, PubMed:9288753, PubMed:9529250). Coexpression with KDR results in increased VEGF165 binding to KDR as well as increased chemotaxis. Regulates VEGF-induced angiogenesis. Binding to VEGFA initiates a signaling pathway needed for motor neuron axon guidance and cell body migration, including for the caudal migration of facial motor neurons from rhombomere 4 to rhombomere 6 during embryonic development (By similarity). Regulates mitochondrial iron transport via interaction with ABCB8/MITOSUR (PubMed:30623799). (Microbial infection) Acts as a host factor for human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection. Recognizes and binds to CendR motif RRAR on SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1 which enhances SARS-CoV-2 infection. Isoform 2. Binds VEGF-165 and may inhibit its binding to cells (PubMed:10748121, PubMed:26503042). May induce apoptosis by sequestering VEGF-165 (PubMed:10748121). May bind as well various members of the semaphorin family. Its expression has an averse effect on blood vessel number and integrity.

Activity summary

Neuropilin-1 also known as NRP1 is a transmembrane protein with a significant role in the nervous and vascular systems. It has a molecular mass of approximately 130 kDa. Neuropilin-1 expression occurs broadly in tissues including neurons endothelial cells and tumor cells. Its structure includes a large extracellular domain that binds various ligands mediating several cellular functions. Neuropilin-1 is sometimes targeted in experiments using methods like neuropilin-1 ELISA and PE immunofluorescence to study its distribution and function in different tissues.

Biological function summary

Neuropilin-1 serves as a co-receptor for both the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Semaphorin family proteins. It plays an important role in processes such as angiogenesis axonal guidance and the immune system. Neuropilin-1 does not function alone; it forms complexes with neuropilin-2 and other receptors like Plexin and VEGFR enhancing signal transduction pathways for angiogenesis and neuronal development. This involvement allows cells to respond appropriately to their environment especially during organismal development and repair processes.

Pathways

Neuropilin-1 facilitates interactions within the VEGF and Semaphorin pathways. In the VEGF pathway Neuropilin-1 enhances binding and signaling efficiency with VEGF closely working alongside VEGFR to promote endothelial cell survival migration and new blood vessel formation. In the Semaphorin pathway Neuropilin-1 interacts with Plexins mediating neuronal pathfinding and axonal growth. These interactions highlight Neuropilin-1's adaptive capabilities in various physiological processes critical for system development.

Associated diseases and disorders

Neuropilin-1 is linked to pathological conditions like cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Neuropilin-1 overexpression is frequently observed in tumors driving cancer progression through enhanced angiogenesis and tissue invasion closely interacting with proteins like VEGF-A. In cardiovascular disease Neuropilin-1 contributes to abnormal blood vessel formation and stability. By studying Neuropilin-1 and other biomarkers like CD304 FITC researchers aim to develop therapeutic strategies targeting its role in these diseases.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Neuropilin 1 antibody [EPR3113] (ab81321)

    The expression of Neuropilin 1, VEGFR-2, and VEGF was analyzed by immunofluorescence microscopy in omentum and effluent-derived mesothelial cells (MCs). MCs were double stained for Neuropilin 1 (green) and VEGFR-2 (red), and single stained for VEGF (green). Nuclei were stained with DAPI. Neuropilin 1 and VEGF show a membrane distribution in omentum and epithelioid MCs (b, c,h, i). During in vitro (e, f) and ex vivo (k, l) MMT both proteins change their localization and are internalized. The expression of VEGFR-2 is down-regulated but it does not show differences in localization during in vitro (a, d) and ex vivo (g, j) MMT.

    Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Neuropilin 1 antibody [EPR3113] (ab81321)

    Neuropilin 1 was immunoprecipitated from 0.35mg mouse heart lysate with ab81321 at 1/30 dilution (2μg in 0.35mg lysates). Western blot was performed on the immunoprecipitate using ab81321 at 1/1000 dilution (0.77 μg/mL). VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) ab131366) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution.

In Western blot, ab81321 was shown to bind specifically to Neuropilin 1. A band was observed at 125/135 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in NRP1 knockout cell line Human NRP1 knockout A549 cell line ab269507 (knockout cell lysate Human NRP1 knockout A549 cell lysate ab269669). To generate this image, wild-type and NRP1 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged.
