NTN1 netrin 1

Gene ID: 9423, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NET1; MRMV4; NTN1L

Summary

Netrin is included in a family of laminin-related secreted proteins. The function of this gene has not yet been defined; however, netrin is thought to be involved in axon guidance and cell migration during development. Mutations and loss of expression of netrin suggest that variation in netrin may be involved in cancer development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
