Literature on UNC5D

UNC5D [ENSP00000385143]

Netrin receptor UNC5D; Receptor for the netrin NTN4 that promotes neuronal cell survival (By similarity). Plays a role in cell-cell adhesion and cell guidance. Receptor for netrin involved in cell migration. Plays a role in axon guidance by mediating axon repulsion of neuronal growth cones in the developing nervous system upon ligand binding (By similarity). May play a role in apoptosis in response to DNA damage . It also acts as a dependence receptor required for apoptosis induction when not associated with netrin ligand . Mediates cell-cell adhesion via its interaction with FLRT3 on an adjacent cell (By similarity). ; Belongs to the unc-5 family.
