These studies reveal an unexpected role of the axon guidance receptor UNC5A in fine-tuning ERalpha and EGFR signaling and the luminal progenitor status of hormone-sensitive breast cancers. Furthermore, UNC5A knockdown cells provide an ideal model system to investigate metastasis of ERalpha(+) breast cancers
Title: Dependence receptor UNC5A restricts luminal to basal breast cancer plasticity and metastasis.
The results suggest that netrin-1 promotes glioma cell proliferation by activating NF-kappaB signaling via UNC5A.
Title: Netrin-1 promotes glioma growth by activating NF-κB via UNC5A.
Such data indicate that cooperation between the UPR and UNC5A depletion as previously observed by ourselves in HCC patients samples may foster liver cancer development and growth.
Title: Hepatocellular carcinoma-associated depletion of the netrin-1 receptor Uncoordinated Phenotype-5A (UNC5A) skews the hepatic unfolded protein response towards prosurvival outcomes.
UNC5A is capable of impeding autophagy and promoting HCV restriction through specific impact on virion infectivity, in a cell death-independent and DAPK-related manner.
Title: Reciprocal antagonism between the netrin-1 receptor uncoordinated-phenotype-5A (UNC5A) and the hepatitis C virus.
FANCC interferes with UNC5A's functions in apoptosis and suggest that FANCC may participate in developmental processes through association with the dependence receptor UNC5A.
Title: The Fanconi anemia group C protein interacts with uncoordinated 5A and delays apoptosis.
these data suggest an important role for UNC5A, a candidate tumor suppressor, in predicting response to DNA damage induced by chemotherapeutic drug and regulating cell death in bladder cancer
Title: DNA damage-inducible gene, UNC5A, functions as a tumor-suppressor in bladder cancer.
UNC5A is a novel transcriptional target of p53 and plays a role in p53-dependent apoptosis
Title: Identification of UNC5A as a novel transcriptional target of tumor suppressor p53 and a regulator of apoptosis.
Observational study of gene-disease association, gene-environment interaction, and pharmacogenomic / toxicogenomic. (HuGE Navigator)

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
