DESCRIPTION

Also known as R4RL2_HUMAN, RTN4RL2, NGRH1, NGRL3. Cell surface receptor that plays a functionally redundant role in the inhibition of neurite outgrowth mediated by MAG (By similarity). Plays a functionally redundant role in postnatal brain development. Contributes to normal axon migration across the brain midline and normal formation of the corpus callosum. Does not seem to play a significant role in regulating axon regeneration in the adult central nervous system. Protects motoneurons against apoptosis; protection against apoptosis is probably mediated by MAG (By similarity). Like other family members, plays a role in restricting the number dendritic spines and the number of synapses that are formed during brain development (PubMed:22325200). Signaling mediates activation of Rho and downstream reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:22325200). Interaction with MAG is controversial, and may be indirect (Probable). Does not interact with MAG, OMG and RTN4 (PubMed:12839991). Interacts with MAG (By similarity).
