[Neuronal IL16] Kurscher and Yuzaki (1999) have described the identification of NIL16 (Neuronal IL16) as a cytosolic protein detected only in neurons of the cerebellum and the hippocampus. Its N-terminal half constitutes a novel PDZ domain protein sequence but the C-terminus is identical with mouse pro-IL16 derived from splenocytes. The N-terminal portion of NIL16 interacts selectively with a variety of neuronal ion channels, which is similar to the function of many other PDZ domain proteins that serve as intracellular scaffolding proteins. The C-terminus of NIL16 can be processed by caspase-3, resulting in the release of secreted IL16.
Cerebellar granule neurons also express the IL16
