Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables netrin receptor activity involved in chemorepulsion and tubulin binding activity. Involved in chemorepulsion of axon and netrin-activated signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of neuron migration. Located in several cellular components, including filopodium; growth cone; and lamellipodium. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; gonad; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human UNC5C (unc-5 netrin receptor C).
