DATASHEET  

Neuropilins are transmembrane proteins that contain two CUB domains (a1 and a2), two coagulation factor-like domains (b1 and b2), and a MAM domain in the extracellular region. These proteins have short cytoplasmic domains that include a PDZ-binding motif. The neuropilin (NRP) family includes NRP-1, NRP-2A, and NRP-2B. NRP-1 has been implicated as a receptor involved in axon guidance and VEGF signaling. NRP-1 mediates activation of intracellular signaling pathways through interaction with its co-receptors, Plexin-A1 and VEGFRs. The expression of NRP-1, along with the co-receptor Plexin-A1, is upregulated in neurons after central nervous system injury. The axons from these neurons cannot cross semaphorin 3A-containing regions at the site of injury. Thus, semaphorin 3A and its co-receptors, Plexin-A1 and Neuropilin-1, may have significant roles in axon regeneration after neuronal injury.

Immunocytochemical double labeling using anti-HA mouse monoclonal and anti-NRP-1 rabbit polyclonal (NP2111) antibodies in COS-7 cells mock transfected (A,D) or transfected with NRP-1 constructs (B,E). The specificity of the binding in E was demonstrated by using NRP-1 peptide (NX2115) in the presence of the anti-NRP-1 antibody (C,F).



Neuropilin-1 synthetic peptide corresponds to amino acids within the a1 CUB domain of human neuropilin-1. This sequence is highly conserved in rat and mouse neuropilin-1, and has low homology to neuropilin-2.
