3D Structures of netrin
Updated on 08-May-2016
FunctionNetrins (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[1]. Netrin-1 is a secreted protein while netrin-G2 is GPI-anchored membrane protein. RelevanceNetrin-1 is over-expressed in glioblastoma tumor[2]. Netrin-1 is a therapeutic target in cardiovascular diseases[3]. Structural highlightsThe N-terminal of netrin-1 is homologous to the N-terminal domains of laminin (LN).
