Background: Nogo-C

Nogo belongs to the reticulon family of transmembrane proteins, which lack an N-terminal signal sequence and possess a 200 amino acid (aa) C-terminus that contains two transmembrane domains with an ER-retention motif. They show punctate intracellular distribution within the ER that is reminescent of a reticulum. The five Nogo isoforms vary from 199 (Nogo-C) to 1192 (Nogo-A; also called reticulon-4) aa in humans. Nogo-B or -C may form complexes with Nogo-A, and all may be expressed in neurons, endothelial cells, oligodendrocytes, fibroblasts and myoblasts. Of 11 aa unique to the N-terminus of human Nogo-C, 9 and 10 aa are identical in mouse and rat Nogo-C, respectively.
