Preparation and Storage

Background: Nogo-B

Nogo-B (A No-Go for neurite outgrowth Isoform B; also reticulon-4 isoform 2 and RTN-xS) is a 49‑51 kDa member of the reticulon protein family. It is widely expressed, being reported everywhere but liver. Nogo-B appears to be principally expressed in the ER, but does have a receptor (NgBR) on cell surfaces. Intracellularly, Nogo-B is known to interact with Bcl-xl and Bcl-2, and may play in role in both apoptosis and angiogenesis. Human Nogo-B is a two transmembrane, 373 amino acid protein. It contains an N-terminal cytoplasmic domain (aa 1‑199), two transmembrane segments (aa 200‑219 and 315‑335), a luminal region (aa 220‑314) and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain (aa 336‑373). Nogo-B contains multiple phosphorylation sites and undergoes acetylation. Caspase-7 cleaves Nogo‑B between Asp14Ser15, generating a 45‑47 kDa fragment. Nogo-B exists in two forms; B1 represents aa 1‑185 spliced to aa 1005‑1192 of Nogo-A, while B2 represents aa 1‑204 spliced to aa 1005‑1192 of Nogo-A. Over aa 1‑200 (of Nogo-A), human Nogo-B shares 76% aa identity with mouse Nogo-B.
