description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in axon midline choice point recognition and commissural neuron axon guidance. Acts upstream of or within neuron migration. Located in axon. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; cranial nerve; future brain; head mesenchyme; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ROBO3 (roundabout guidance receptor 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants display perinatal lethality, abnormal commissural axon growth, and fragile floor plates.
