High impact information on NRP2

 

Biological context of NRP2

 

Anatomical context of NRP2

  • Moreover, a siRNA targeting specifically NRP2 was a potent inhibitor of human endothelial cell migration induced by VEGF-A and VEGF-C [8].
  • In this study, we investigated the expression of npn2 mRNA during new blood vessel growth in the retina and used npn2 knockout mice to assess the impact of deficiency of Npn2 on retinal NV [1].
  • The function of NP-2 in islet cell biology or tumourigenesis remains to be elucidated [5].
  • NP-2 expression has been recently localized to a subset of neuroendocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract [5].
  • Paraffin-embedded tissue sections from 30 endocrine pancreatic tumours (EPTs) and from normal pancreas were immunostained with a rabbit polyclonal antibody generated towards NP-2 [5].
 

Associations of NRP2 with chemical compounds

  • Both np-2 forms bind VEGF(165) with high affinity in the presence of heparin (K(D) 1.3 x 10(-10) m) but not VEGF(121). np-2 also binds the heparin-binding form of placenta growth factor [13].
  • The interaction of Neuropilin-1 and Neuropilin-2 with tyrosine-kinase receptors for VEGF [14].
  • In the colon, the np-2-expressing subpopulation of neuroendocrine cell is almost identical with the serotonin-producing subpopulation of neuroendocrine cells [15].
  • In the high-spin form of NP2, the proximal histidine plane is shown to be oriented 135 degrees clockwise from the heme N(II)-Fe-N(IV) axis, again for the B heme orientation [16].
  • Methotrexate (MTX) was conjugated to an anti-carcinoembryonic antigen monoclonal antibody (NP2) by using amino-dextran as an intermediate carrier [17].
