Nogo-B (Foocen, KIAA0886, My043, Nbla00271, Nbla10545, Neurite Outgrowth Inhibitor, Neuroendocrine-specific Protein, NI220/250, NSP, NSP-CL, Reticulon-4, Reticulon-5, RTN4-A, RTN4-B1, RTN4-B2, RTN4-C, RTN-x, RTN-X, SP1507, SP1507)

Nogo-B (A No-Go for neurite outgrowth Isoform B; also reticulon-4 isoform 2 and RTN-xS) is a 49-51kD 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, 373aa protein. It contains an N-terminal cytoplasmic domain (aa1-199), two transmembrane segments (aa200-219 and 315-335), a luminal region (aa220-314) and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain (aa336-373). Nogo-B contains multiple phosphorylation sites and undergoes acetylation. Caspase-7 cleaves Nogo-B between Asp14Ser15, generating a 45-47kD fragment. Nogo-B is generated from a full-length 205kD Nogo-A by the deletion ofaa186-1004. Overaa1-200, human Nogo-B shares 87% aa identity with mouse Nogo-B1.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot.
