[neuronal pentraxin 2] abbr. also NP2. This protein has been identified by Hsu and Perin (1995). It is related to a secreted member of the pentraxin family identified first in rats, termed NPTX1. Unlike NPTX1, which is expressed almost exclusively in neuronal tissues, NPTX2 is expressed in brain, testis, pancreas, liver, heart, and skeletal muscle. The protein is also being referred to as NARP [neuronal activity-regulated pentraxin], a secreted protein with features of a calcium dependent lectin, which acts as a neurotrophic factor promoting neuronal migration and dendritic outgrowth of neurons with the same potency as neurotrophins
