RTN4RL1 (Reticulon 4 Receptor Like 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with RTN4RL1 include Retrograde Amnesia. Among its related pathways are Metabolism of proteins and Post-translational modification- synthesis of GPI-anchored proteins. GO annotations related to this gene include receptor activity. An important paralog of this gene is RTN4RL2. Cell surface receptor. Plays a functionally redundant role in postnatal brain development and in regulating axon regeneration in the adult central nervous system. Contributes to normal axon migration across the brain midline and normal formation of the corpus callosum. Protects motoneurons against apoptosis; protection against apoptosis is probably mediated by MAG. Plays a role in inhibiting neurite outgrowth and axon regeneration via its binding to neuronal chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. Binds heparin (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).
