NPTN
Appearance
Neuroplastin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NPTN gene.[5][6][7]
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"[8][9][10]
