Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Involved in regulation of trans-synaptic signaling by BDNF, modulating synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including grooming behavior; neuron projection morphogenesis; and positive regulation of synapse assembly. Is active in postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and neural retina. Orthologous to human SLITRK5 (SLIT and NTRK like family member 5).
