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. It also acts as a dependence receptor required for apoptosis induction when not associated with netrin ligand.
Subcellular Localization Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=The interaction with PRKCABP regulates its surface expression and leads to its removal from surface of neurons and growth cones. {ECO:0000250}.
