髓鞘相关糖蛋白 (Siglec-4a)

蛋白质信息 (UniProt)

髓鞘相关糖蛋白 (Siglec-4a)

P20916

功能描述

介导髓鞘形成细胞与神经元之间相互作用的粘附分子,通过结合含有唾液酸的神经节苷脂以及糖蛋白RTN4R和RTN4RL2发挥作用 (By similarity)。初始髓鞘形成不需要该分子,但似乎在维持正常轴突髓鞘化中起作用。保护运动神经元免于凋亡,包括损伤后;抗凋亡作用可能是通过与神经元RTN4R和RTN4RL2的相互作用介导的。防止成体有髓轴突变性所必需;这可能取决于与轴突细胞膜上神经节苷脂的结合 (By similarity)。神经突生长的负调控因子;在背根神经节神经元中,这种抑制作用主要通过结合神经元RTN4R或RTN4RL2介导,其次通过结合神经元神经节苷脂介导。在小脑颗粒细胞中,这种抑制作用主要通过结合神经元神经节苷脂介导。在感觉神经元中,神经突延伸的抑制作用仅部分依赖于RTN4R、RTN4RL2和神经节苷脂。抑制轴突纵向生长 (By similarity)。通过结合RTN4R抑制轴突生长 (By similarity)。优先结合α-2,3-连接的唾液酸。结合神经节苷脂Gt1b (By similarity)。 {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P07722, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P20917}。

组织特异性

Both isoform 1 and isoform 2 are detected in myelinated structures in the central and peripheral nervous system, in periaxonal myelin and at Schmidt-Lanterman incisures (PubMed:6200494, PubMed:9495552). Detected in optic nerve, in oligodendroglia and in periaxonal myelin sheaths (PubMed:6200494). Detected in compact myelin (at protein level) (PubMed:6200494). Both isoform 1 and isoform 2 are detected in the central and peripheral nervous system (PubMed:9495552).
