Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Cell Surface Expression:** Neuroplastin is primarily expressed on the surface of neurons and glial cells, where it interacts with other proteins to regulate cell adhesion and signaling. 2. **Homophilic Cell Adhesion:** Neuroplastin mediates homophilic cell adhesion, which is essential for the formation and maintenance of synapses. 3. **Excitatory Synapse Assembly:** Neuroplastin is involved in the assembly of excitatory synapses, which are critical for learning and memory. 4. **Long-term Synaptic Potentiation:** Neuroplastin plays a key role in long-term synaptic potentiation, a process that underlies learning and memory. 5. **Regulation of Receptor Localization:** Neuroplastin regulates the localization of receptors to synapses, which is essential for synaptic function and plasticity. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Cell Adhesion Molecule Binding:** Neuroplastin binds to cell adhesion molecules, such as N-cadherin and L1CAM, to regulate cell adhesion and signaling. 2. **Excitatory Synapse Assembly:** Neuroplastin interacts with other proteins to assemble excitatory synapses, which are critical for learning and memory. 3. **Intracellular Calcium Ion Homeostasis:** Neuroplastin regulates intracellular calcium ion concentrations, which is essential for synaptic function and plasticity. 4. **Long-term Synaptic Potentiation:** Neuroplastin plays a key role in long-term synaptic potentiation, a process that underlies learning and memory. 5. **Neurotransmitter Receptors and Postsynaptic Signal Transmission:** Neuroplastin regulates the localization of neurotransmitter receptors to synapses, which is essential for postsynaptic signal transmission. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Neurodegenerative Disorders:** Neuroplastin has been implicated in various neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. 2. **Learning and Memory:** Neuroplastin plays a critical role in learning and memory, and its dysregulation has been linked to cognitive impairments. 3. **Synaptic Dysfunction:** Neuroplastin's involvement in synaptic function and plasticity makes it a potential target for the treatment of synaptic dysfunction-related disorders. 4. **Cancer:** Neuroplastin has been implicated in cancer, particularly in the development and progression of glioblastoma. 5. **Neurological Disorders:** Neuroplastin's involvement in neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and schizophrenia, highlights its potential as a therapeutic target. In conclusion, neuroplastin is a key player in neurological function and disease, and its dysregulation has been linked to various neurodegenerative disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of neuroplastin in neurological function and disease, and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target.
