Background
Neuregulin-1
(NRG1) belongs to a family of structurally related glycoproteins encoded by
four distinct but related genes, Nrg1, Nrg2, Nrg3, and Nrg4.
In humans, Nrg1 encodes multiple soluble or transmembrane proteins
through alternative splicing or the use of alternative promoters with each NRG1
isoform exhibiting distinct expression patterns and functions (1). Type I
isoforms include Neu Differentiation Factor, Heregulin, and ARIA, and they consist
of an N-terminal domain, an Ig-like domain, a linker with a Ser/Thr rich
region, an EGF-like domain, a transmembrane segment, and a cytoplasmic
domain. Type II isoforms have a larger
N-terminal domain and lack the Ser/Thr rich linker, while Type III isoforms
lack the Ig-like domain but contain a cysteine rich domain (CRD) and a second
transmembrane segment (1-6). The mature mouse NRG1 isoform expressed
corresponds to Heregulin-beta 1 with an extracellular domain of 229 amino acids
(aa) that shares 92% and 79% sequence identity with human and rat NRG1, respectively. NRG1 regulates multiple nervous system
functions including axon guidance, synapse formation and plasticity, glial cell
development, and axon myelination (1-3). All NRG1 isoforms share an EGF-like
domain that interacts with the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase receptors to
induce signaling (1-4). Heregulin-beta
1 has been directly linked to diverse functions including cardiovascular
development and protection from ischemic injury (7) to a role in the growth and
maintenance of human embryonic stem cells (8).
Multiple polymorphisms and aberrant expression of NRG1 isoforms are
associated with the development of schizophrenia and several cancers (2, 9, 10).
Activation of Heregulin-beta 1 signaling has been shown to promote invasiveness and
metastasis of breast cancer cells (11, 12).
