Ninjurin-1 Proteins and Enzymes

Ninjurin-1 (nerve injury-induced protein 1) is a 20-22 kDa member of the Ninjurin family of transmembrane (TM) proteins. It is expressed by Schwann cells, neurons and hepatocytes and participates in intercellular homophilic binding during nerve regeneration. Human Ninjurin-1 is 152 amino acids in length. It has an unusual membrane orientation. Ther...
