This gene encodes a member of the neuritin family, and is expressed in postmitotic-differentiating neurons of the developmental nervous system and neuronal structures associated with plasticity in the adult. The expression of this gene can be induced by neural activity and neurotrophins. The encoded protein contains a consensus cleavage signal found in glycosylphoshatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. The encoded protein promotes neurite outgrowth and arborization, suggesting its role in promoting neuritogenesis. Overexpression of the encoded protein may be associated with astrocytoma progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
A bioinformatic study in adult female Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) identified 68 time-course differentially expressed microRNAs after spinal cord injury, with synergetic analysis revealing 193 co-regulated target genes enriched in nervous system development and interaction networks identifying top hub genes like AKT1, VEGFA, and BDNF [Liu et al.
