Gene: NINJ2

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ninjurin (for nerve injury induced) family. It is a cell surface adhesion protein that is upregulated in Schwann cells surrounding the distal segment of injured nerve, and promotes neurite outgrowth, thus may have a role in nerve regeneration after nerve injury.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12p13.33

Description of this Gene: ninjurin 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
