| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in neurogenesis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in basement membrane. 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit ectopic motor neurons that migrate out of the ventral horn and into the motor roots.
