Function

DPYL2_HUMAN Plays a role in neuronal development and polarity, as well as in axon growth and guidance, neuronal growth cone collapse and cell migration. Necessary for signaling by class 3 semaphorins and subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton (By similarity). Plays a role in neuron projection morphogenesis.^{[1] [2]}
