Nna1 (Nervous system nuclear protein induced by axotomy 1, AGTPBP1, Cytosolic carboxypeptidase-1)

Nervous system nuclear protein induced by axotomy 1 (Nna1, AGTPBP1 or cytosolic carboxypeptidase-1) is related to zinc carboxypeptidases and contains an ATP/GTP binding motif, a basic and a bipartite nuclear localization signal. Nna1 expression is rapidly induced in motor neurons following axotomy and down-regulated following reinnervation, which is consistent with abundant Nna1 expression in differentiating neurons and the absence of Nna1 in CNS proliferative zones (1). Furthermore, Purkinje cell degeneration is characterized by adult onset neurodegeneration resulting from Nna1 gene mutations, implicating Nna1 in mechanisms common to degeneration and regeneration (2). ||Applications:|Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation.
