产品描述： Netrin is included in a family of laminin-related secreted proteins. The function of this gene has not yet been defined; however,

netrin is thought to be involved in axon guidance and cell migration during development. Mutations and loss of expression of

netrin suggest that variation in netrin may be involved in cancer development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Function: Netrins control guidance of CNS commissural axons and peripheral motor axons. Its association with either DCC or some UNC5

receptors will lead to axon attraction or repulsion, respectively. It also serve as a survival factor via its association with its receptors

which prevent the initiation of apoptosis. Involved in tumorigenesis by regulating apoptosis.
