NPTN
Lua error in Module:Infobox_gene at line 33: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Neuroplastin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NPTN gene.[1][2][3]
Neuroplastin is a type I transmembrane protein belonging to the Ig superfamily. The protein is believed to be involved in cell-cell interactions or cell-substrate interactions. The alpha and beta transcripts show differential localization within the brain.[3]
In 2014, in a study led by Dr. Sylvane Desrivières, of King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry found that "teenagers who had a highly functioning NPTN gene performed better in intelligence tests"[4][5][6]
