Background: Ninjurin-2

Ninjurin-2 (nerve injury-induced protein 2) is a 20-22 kDa member of the Ninjurin family of transmembrane (TM) proteins (1). It is expressed by multiple cell types, including Schwann cells, myenteric plexus and sensory neurons, and lymphocytes and participates in intercellular homophilic binding (1). Human Ninjurin-2 is 142 amino acids (aa) in length. It has an unusual membrane orientation. There is a 65 aa N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD) (aa 1‑65) that contains one phoshorylation site at Ser3, followed by a TM segment, a cytoplasmic region, a second TM segment and a C-terminal ECD (aa 128‑142). One potential alternate start site exists 46 aa upstream of the standard form start site. Over aa 1‑65, human Ninjurin-2 is 71% aa identical to mouse Ninjurin-2. Multiple studies have linked NINJ-2 gene polymorphism with ischemic stroke (2-4). In endothelia cells, NINJ-2 activates TLR4 signaling pathway and promote inflammation (5).
