Summary: Involved in several processes, including neurogenesis; regulation of photoreceptor cell axon guidance; and salivary gland boundary specification. Located in axonal growth cone; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including ISN innervated muscle cell of A1-7; imaginal disc primordium; mesoderm; optic lobe intrinsic columnar neurons; and somatic precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital mirror movement disorder. Orthologous to human NTN1 (netrin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Oncogenic stress-induced Netrin is a humoral signaling molecule that reprograms systemic metabolism in Drosophila.
Title: Oncogenic stress-induced Netrin is a humoral signaling molecule that reprograms systemic metabolism in Drosophila.
Asymmetric activity of NetrinB controls laterality of the Drosophila brain.
Title: Asymmetric activity of NetrinB controls laterality of the Drosophila brain.
These results indicate a critical role for Netrin B in mushroom body lobe extension.
Title: Drosophila Netrin-B controls mushroom body axon extension and regulates courtship-associated learning and memory of a Drosophila fragile X syndrome model.
mutation of mushroom body defect (mud) dramatically enhances the phenotype of Netrin or frazzled mutants, resulting in many more axons failing to cross the midline, although mutations in mud alone have little effect.
Title: Mushroom body defect is required in parallel to Netrin for midline axon guidance in Drosophila.
Contact-mediated cell adhesion via Fmi acts in addition to the Net/Fra guidance system during axon pathfinding across the midline, underlining the importance of PCP molecules during vertebrates and invertebrates midline development.
Title: Flamingo, a seven-pass transmembrane cadherin, cooperates with Netrin/Frazzled in Drosophila midline guidance.
adult Drosophila lacking both netrin genes, NetA and NetB, have fertility defects in both sexes together with an inability to fly and reduced viability.
Title: Control of male and female fertility by the netrin axon guidance genes.
These data are the first to show that Netrin and Frazzled regulate the placement of gap junctions presynaptically at a synapse.
Title: Netrin and Frazzled regulate presynaptic gap junctions at a Drosophila giant synapse.
Data find that Abl interacts both physically and genetically with the Netrin receptor Frazzled, and that disrupting this interaction prevents Abl from promoting midline axon crossing.
Title: Distinct functional domains of the Abelson tyrosine kinase control axon guidance responses to Netrin and Slit to regulate the assembly of neural circuits.
Netrin-B is specifically localized in photoreceptor axons owing to axonal release by lamina neurons L3 and capture by target neuron-associated Frazzled.
Title: Localized netrins act as positional cues to control layer-specific targeting of photoreceptor axons in Drosophila.
Dscam1 functions to counter Drosophila sensory neuron dendritic targeting signals provided by secreted Netrin-B and Frazzled, a netrin receptor. Loss of Dscam1 function resulted in aberrant dendrite accumulation at a Netrin-B-expressing target.
Title: Dscam1-mediated self-avoidance counters netrin-dependent targeting of dendrites in Drosophila.
