Facts about Reticulon-4.
Involved in down-regulation of development, insertion of wiring and restriction of plasticity in the adult CNS. Regulates the radial migration of cortical neurons through an RTN4R-LINGO1 containing receptor complex (By similarity).

Isoform 1 is specifically expressed in brain and testis and weakly in heart and skeletal muscle. Isoform 2 is widely expressed except for the liver. Isoform 3 is expressed in brain, skeletal muscle and adipocytes. Isoform 4 is testis- specific.
[Isoform A]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Anchored to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through 2 putative transmembrane domains. Localizes throughout the ER tubular network (PubMed:27619977). Co-localizes with TMEM33 at the ER sheets.; [Isoform B]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein; Extracellular side. Cell junction. Mainly located on endoplasmic reticulum tubules and sheet edges (PubMed:27786289). Upon ICAM1 engagemen
