Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables netrin receptor binding activity and protein tyrosine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including netrin-activated signaling pathway; neuron development; and positive regulation of axon extension involved in axon guidance. Acts upstream of or within dendrite morphogenesis; locomotory behavior; and post-embryonic retina morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; growth cone; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; peripheral nervous system; sensory organ; skin; and testis. Orthologous to human DSCAM (DS cell adhesion molecule).
