Summary: Enables netrin receptor activity involved in chemorepulsion and tubulin binding activity. Involved in chemorepulsion of axon and netrin-activated signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of neuron migration. Located in several cellular components, including filopodium; growth cone; and lamellipodium. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; gonad; retina; and skeleton. Orthologous to human UNC5C (unc-5 netrin receptor C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in cerebellum adult (RPKM 4.5), limb E14.5 (RPKM 4.2) and 11 other tissues See more

Netrin-1 receptor UNC5C cleavage by active delta-secretase enhances neurodegeneration, promoting Alzheimer's disease pathologies.

The netrin-1 receptor UNC5C contributes to the homeostasis of undifferentiated spermatogonia in adult mice.
Title: The netrin-1 receptor UNC5C contributes to the homeostasis of undifferentiated spermatogonia in adult mice.
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.
Title: Uncoupling of UNC5C with Polymerized TUBB3 in Microtubules Mediates Netrin-1 Repulsion.
UNC5C expression levels increased from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage in fertilized murine embryos. Repression of UNC5C in the anterior nucleus stage inhibited development to the blastocyst stage.

UNC5c expression is enriched in CA3 hippocampal neurons, but UNC5c is not expressed in microglia or perpheral blood mononuclear cells.

repression of Unc5c expression by Rhox5 may, in part, mediate the pro-survival function of Rhox5 in the testis
Title: The RHOX5 homeodomain protein mediates transcriptional repression of the netrin-1 receptor gene Unc5c.
The netrin-1 receptor UNC5c, a proapoptotic molecule that is inhibited by RHOX5, was also regulated in vivo, and is thus a candidate to be downstream of RHOX5 in a prosurvival germ-cell pathway.

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.
