Netrin

spinqualitylabelsall models Glycosylated mouse netrin-1 complex with Ca+2 and Cl-1 ions (PDB code 4ove) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image   Print3D Function 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. Netrin-1 is a secreted protein while netrin-G2 is GPI-anchored membrane protein. Relevance Netrin-1 is over-expressed in glioblastoma tumor. Netrin-1 is a therapeutic target in cardiovascular diseases. Structural highlights The N-terminal of netrin-1 is homologous to the N-terminal type I domain of laminin (LN) followed by 3 cysteine-rich epidermal growth factor repeats.
