Summary: Enables netrin receptor binding activity. Involved in axon guidance and netrin-activated signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including filopodium; growth cone; and lamellipodium. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles.

Here, we report that dissociation of UNC5C and polymerized TUBB3, the highly dynamic beta-tubulin isoform in neurons, is essential for netrin-1/UNC5C-promoted axon repulsion. These results not only provide a working model of direct modulation of MTs by guidance cues in growth cone navigation but also help us to understand molecular mechanisms underlying developmental brain disorders associated with TUBB3 mutations.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
