It has a mass of approximately 44 kDa. This protein is expressed mainly in the nervous system including neurons and glial cells and is known to play key roles in nervous system function and development. NRG1 type III facilitates cell signaling by binding to ErbB receptors which are a category of epidermal growth factor receptors.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThis protein variant plays an important role in myelination which is the process of forming a myelin sheath around the nerves. NRG1 type III interacts with the ErbB2 and ErbB3 receptors forming a complex important for these roles. This interaction encourages Schwann cells to initiate and sustain the myelination of peripheral nerves which is vital for proper nerve function and rapid signal transmission.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nNRG1 type III is actively involved in the PI3K\/Akt and MAPK pathways. It interacts with proteins like ErbB2 and ErbB3 to propagate cell growth and survival signals. These pathways influence several cellular processes including cell growth proliferation and survival thereby facilitating communication between neurons and supporting their structural integrity.\u003cbr\u003e\nNRG1 type III is linked to schizophrenia and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Alterations in NRG1 type III and its pathway components may lead to disrupted neural signaling and connectivity contributing to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Furthermore abnormal expression levels of NRG1 type III are associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease a disorder affecting peripheral nerves often in association with changes in the ErbB2 and ErbB3 receptor interaction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850092171433,"sku":"ab23248","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab23248","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
