'''Netrins''' (Net) direct cell and axon migration during development. Netrins are chemotropic. The growing axon moves either toward or away from netrin concentration. Netrins influence the formation of a variety of tissues. They act as chemoattractants for some cell types and chemorepellent for other types<ref>PMID:18269208</ref>. '''Netrin-1''' is a secreted protein while '''netrin-G2''' is GPI-anchored membrane protein. | '''Netrins''' (Net) direct cell and axon migration during development. Netrins are chemotropic.
