description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Involved in neurogenesis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including olfactory system; spinal component of peripheral nervous system; tail; trigeminal nerve; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human NTN5 (netrin 5).
