Description:
Neuronal pentraxin 1 is a secreted member of the pentraxin family identified first in rats as a protein that may mediate the uptake of synaptic material and the presynaptic snake venom toxin, taipoxin . Rat, mouse, and human sequences are highly conserved . NP-I is expressed almost exclusively in central neurons of the nervous system. 
NP-I is expressed constitutively in the murine CNS and is not modulated by administration of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (as is the expression of some other pentraxin family members.NP-I expression is induced in neonatal rat brain following perinatal hypoxia-ischemia, and NP-I gene silencing has been shown to be neuroprotective against hypoxia-induced neuronal cell death .
