Subunit: Binds to its receptors; DCC, DSCAM, UNC5A, UNC5B, UNC5C and probably UNC5D
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed in normal adult tissues with highest levels in heart, small intestine, colon, liver and prostate. Reduced expression in brain tumors and neuroblastomas. Expressed in epididymis (at protein level) [IMAGE] Pathway & Disease-focused RT2 Prof
Function: UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary: NET1_HUMAN, O95631 Function: Netrins control guidance of CNS commissural axons and peripheral motor axons. Its association with either DCC or some UNC5 receptors will lead to axon attraction or repulsion, respectively. It also serve as a survival factor via its association with its receptors which prevent the initiation of apoptosis. Involved in tumorigenesis by regulating apoptosis
Similarity: Contains 3 laminin EGF-like domains Contains 1 laminin N-terminal domain Contains 1 NTR domain [IMAGE]
