Abstract excerpt
Slit and Netrin and their respective neuronal receptors play critical roles in patterning axonal connections in the developing nervous system by regulating the decision of whether or not to cross the midline. Studies of both invertebrate and vertebrate systems support the idea that Netrin, secreted by midline cells, signals through DCC (Deleted in Colorectal Carcinoma)/UNC40/Frazzled receptors to attract...
