Function

NPTX1 is a member of the neuronal pentraxin gene family. Neuronal pentraxin 1 is similar to the rat NP1 gene which encodes a binding protein for the snake venom toxin taipoxin. Human NPTX1 mRNA is exclusively localized to the nervous system.[6]

gollark: I agree.

gollark: We actually have enough RAM now that you could plausibly have a lookup table for all 32-bit floats.
gollark: This is because floats have a finite size, so there are finitely many possible floats.
gollark: You can, in fact, trivially.
