| Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 13176 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; netrin receptor activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in postsynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within generation of neurons. Located in axon. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; lung; and retina. Used to study essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; congenital mirror movement disorder; and esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human DCC (DCC netrin 1 receptor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous animals show defects in axonal projections and hypothalamic development affecting both visual and neruoendocrine systems. Incidence of tumors increases in mutations preventing netrin-1 binding. [provided by MGI curators] |
