Neuritin also known as NRN1 and CPG15 is a neurotrophic factor, which is expressed in response to induction of neuronal activity by NGF, BDNF, NT3 and other neural stimulators. It promotes neurite outgrowth and especially branching of neuritic processes in primary hippocampal and cortical cells. Recombinant Human Neuritin is a covalently disulfide-linked homodimer, consisting of two 9.7 kDa polypeptide monomers, each containing 88 amino acid residues. It shares 99 % and 97 % a.a. sequence identity with murine and rat neuritin, respectively.
