Preparation and Storage

Background: Netrin-G1a

NTNG-1, known as Netrin-G1 or alternatively Laminet-1 (Gene name: NTNG1), is a member of the UNC-6/Netrin family of proteins. Human Netrin-G1 is a 55 kDa protein and shares 100% homology with its crab-eating macaque, 98% homology with its rat homolog, and 97% homology with its mouse homolog. Netrin-G1 is synthesized as a 539 amino acid (aa) precursor with a 28 aa signal sequence, a 251 aa laminin-related region containing an N-terminal laminin globular domain (domain VI) followed by 3 laminin EGF-like repeats, a GPI (glycosylphosphatidylinisotol) anchor (Ser510), and a C-terminal 28 aa propeptide that is removed in mature Netrin-G1 (1, 3, 4). Netrin-G1 interacts with its ligand, Netrin-G ligand 1 (NGL1) to regulate neuron growth and patterning, axonal subdendritic differentiation, and synapse formation throughout development (1, 2, 4, 6). Abnormal expression of Netrin-G1 via SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) have been implicated in pathogenesis for schizophrenia (5). Netrin-G1 has widespread expression only in vertebrates, occurring in olfactory mitral cells, cells of the inferior colliculus (hearing), dorsal thalamus (behavior), and cells of the deep cerebellar nuclei and inferior olive (motion) (3).
