Draxin Inhibits Axonal Outgrowth through the Netrin Receptor DCC
28 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Draxin, a recently identified axon guidance protein, is essential for the formation of forebrain commissures, and can mediate repulsion of netrin-stimulated spinal commissural axons. Here, we report that draxin binds multiple netrin receptors: DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer), Neogenin, UNC5s (H1, H2, H3), and DSCAM (Down's syndrome cell adhesion molecule). Since draxin and Dcc knockouts showed similar...
