Neuregulin 1 or NRG1 is one of four proteins in the neuregulin family that act on the EGFR family of receptors. This growth factor was originally identified as a 44-kD glycoprotein that interacts with the NEU / ERBB2 receptor tyrosine kinase to increase its phosphorylation on tyrosine residues. NRG1 is a trophic factor that has been implicated in neural development, neurotransmission, and synaptic plasticity. NRG1 has multiple isoforms that are generated by usage of different promoters and alternative splicing of a single gene. Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) is essential for the development and function of multiple organ systems, and its dysregulation has been linked to diseases such as cancer and schizophrenia. NRG1 is a schizophrenia candidate gene and plays an important role in brain development and neural function. Schizophrenia is a complex disorder, with etiology likely due to epistasis.

Human Cells

A DNA sequence encoding the human NRG1 isoform alpha (Q02297-1) EGF-like domain (Ser 177-Lys 241) was fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the N-terminus.

Human

The recombinant human NRG1(177-241)/Fc chimera is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein. The reduced monomer consists of 326 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 35.8 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 38 kDa.
