The <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> gene <i>unc-76</i> and its human homologs define a new gene family involved in axonal outgrowth and fasciculation
1 Apr 1997
Abstract excerpt
The gene unc-76 (unc, uncoordinated) is necessary for normal axonal bundling and elongation within axon bundles in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The UNC-76 protein and two human homologs identified as expressed sequence tags are not similar to previously characterized proteins and thus represent a new protein family. At least one of these human homologs can function in C. elegans, suggesting that it, like...
