Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

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. Also involved in corticospinal tract axon guidances independently of DCC. It also acts as a dependence receptor required for apoptosis induction when not associated with netrin ligand (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Mainly expressed in brain. Also expressed in kidney. Not expressed in developing or adult lung. {ECO:0000269PubMed:9782087}.
