Abstract
Neuroplastin, a paralog of CD147/Basigin, is known as a neuronal cell adhesion molecule and as an auxiliary subunit of plasma membrane calcium ATPases in both neurons and adaptive immune cells. Recently, an interesting study by Ren et al. (2022) provided evidence for an important role of neuroplastin in macrophages during bacterial infection. Here, we critically discuss one aspect of this study, the assignment of this role to Np65 as one of two prominent splice variants of neuroplastin.
期刊介绍：
Molecular Immunology publishes original articles, reviews and commentaries on all areas of immunology, with a particular focus on description of cellular, biochemical or genetic mechanisms underlying immunological phenomena. Studies on all model organisms, from invertebrates to humans, are suitable. Examples include, but are not restricted to:
Infection, autoimmunity, transplantation, immunodeficiencies, inflammation and tumor immunology
Mechanisms of induction, regulation and termination of innate and adaptive immunity
Intercellular communication, cooperation and regulation
Intracellular mechanisms of immunity (endocytosis, protein trafficking, pathogen recognition, antigen presentation, etc)
Mechanisms of action of the cells and molecules of the immune system
Structural analysis
Development of the immune system
Comparative immunology and evolution of the immune system
"Omics" studies and bioinformatics
Vaccines, biotechnology and therapeutic manipulation of the immune system (therapeutic antibodies, cytokines, cellular therapies, etc)
Technical developments.
