Description
Product Characteristics: This gene encodes a member of the netrin family of proteins, which function in various biological processes including axon guidance, tumorogenesis, and angiogenesis. Netrins are laminin-related proteins that have an N-terminal laminin-type domain, epidermal growth factor-like repeat domain, and a positively charged heparin-binding domain at the C-terminus. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in processes including neurite growth and migration, angiogenesis and mural cell adhesion to endothelial cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.,NTN4,PRO3091,netrin-4,Neuroscience,NTN4
Target Information: NTN4 belongs to a family of proteins related to laminins (see LAMA1, MIM 150320) Koch et al. (2000) [PubMed 11038171].[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
