Function

Receptor for netrin required for axon guidance. Mediates axon repulsion of neuronal growth cones in the developing nervous system upon ligand binding. Axon repulsion in growth cones may be caused by its association with DCC that may trigger signaling for repulsion. It also acts as a dependence receptor required for apoptosis induction when not associated with netrin ligand (By similarity). Mediates apoptosis by activating DAPK1. In the absence of NTN1, activates DAPK1 by reducing its autoinhibitory phosphorylation at Ser-308 thereby increasing its catalytic activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Associated with lipid raft.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in brain. Expressed in lung during late development. Expressed during early blood vessel formation, in the semicircular canal and in a dorsal to ventral gradient in the retina. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12351186, ECO:0000269PubMed:12799072}.
