Entrez ID 4815
Gene name Ninjurin 2
Gene symbol NINJ2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
-
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12p13.33
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 ma
