Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; netrin receptor activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in postsynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within generation of neurons. Located in axon and postsynapse. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; lung; and retina. Used to study essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; congenital mirror movement disorder; and esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human DCC (DCC netrin 1 receptor).
