NPTN
Template:PBB Neuroplastin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NPTN gene.[1][2][3]
In 2014, in a study led by Dr. Sylvane Desrivières, of King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry found that "teenagers who had a highly functioning NPTN gene performed better in intelligence tests"[4][5][6]
