Background: Neuritin 1 (NRN1) is a member of neuritin family. Neuritin is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol- anchored protein induced by neural activity. It is expressed in postmitotic-differentiating neurons of the developing nervous system and a population of small-diameter neurons in the dorsal root ganglia and was anterogradely and retrogradely transported. Neuritin message is induced by neuronal activity and by the activity-regulated neurotrophins BDNF; nerve growth factor (NGF) and NT-3. Purified recombinant neuritin promotes neurite outgrowth and arborization in primary embryonic hippocampal and cortical cultures. Thus; neuritin is considered as a downstream effector of activity-induced neurite outgrowth. In clinical; neuritin levels in diabetes were reduced in both dorsal root ganglia and sciatic nerve of rats; and these deficits were reversed in vivo by treatment with NGF. This manipulation of neuritin levels in diabetes may provide a potential target for the therapeutic intervention in the management of neuropathy.
