nomenclature changes

04.06.2018 Human symbol has changed for genepage ID: 947582 From nradd to NGFR

IN Xenopus, originally ngfr was identified as the human orthologue of NRADD, which is now recognised as a pseudogene, NRADDP.

XENBASE CURATORS THEREFORE Removed all previous ngfr gene synonyms from the genepage: nrh , CD271 , p75ntr , tnfrsf16 , p75(NTR) , Gp80-LNGFR , nrh1 , fullback.

15June 2020

Human symbol has changed for genepage ID: 947582 From nradd to NRADDP, neurotrophin receptor associated death domain, pseudogene. The P designates it as as psuedogene, soleave name unchanged as this is a functional gene in Xenopus.

This gene will persist in monthly NCBI/Entrez-Xenbase gene reports, but just it ignore it.

summary for human NRADDP from NCBI

The neurotrophin receptor alike death domain proteins belong to the death domain superfamily and are involved in mediating apoptosis. This gene has been inactivated by mutation and is nonfunctional in humans. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
