IHC image of NPTX2 staining in a section of frozen normal human pancreas performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with ab277523, 0.5 ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody. For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times. *Tissue obtained from the Human Research Tissue Bank, supported by the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre.

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

NPTX2 protein also known as neuronal pentraxin II or NARP weighs approximately 47 kDa. NPTX2 is expressed mostly in the brain especially in neurons. This protein belongs to the neuronal pentraxin family and plays a mechanical role in processes like synaptic plasticity. NPTX2 operates by binding to AMPA receptors influencing their surface expression.
Biological function summary

NPTX2 affects synaptic stabilization by participating in the formation and maintenance of synaptic connections. It forms complexes with AMPA receptor subunits promoting synapses that are more active and facilitating synaptic communication. NPTX2's involvement is essential for normal synaptic function reflecting its significance in neural signaling.

Pathways

NPTX2 plays a role in the glutamatergic signaling pathway an important pathway for synaptic transmission involving excitatory neurotransmitters. NPTX2 works alongside other proteins like GluR1 subunit in this pathway mediating synaptic responses. Through its actions in these pathways NPTX2 contributes to long-term potentiation a process related to learning and memory.

NPTX2 has links to neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia. In Alzheimer's NPTX2 dysregulation associates with synaptic dysfunction possibly involving interactions with beta-amyloid. In schizophrenia altered NPTX2 expression might contribute to glutamatergic signaling imbalances affecting cognitive function. These associations highlight NPTX2's importance in maintaining normal neural processes.
