[Nogo are high molecular weight transmembrane inhibitors of neurite out-growth found in CNS myelin. Nogo is expressed by oligodendrocytes in white matter of the CNS, but not by Schwann cells in peripheral nerves. The C-terminal region shares homology with neuroendocrine-specific proteins and other members of the reticulon gene family. NOGO consists of a putative large extracellular domain with seven predicted N-linked glycosylation sites, two or three transmembrane domains, and a short C-terminal region. An extracellular domain of NOGO inhibits axonal extension but does not alter non-neuronal cell morphology. Nogo A, B, and C are encoded as splice variants of a single gene.
