UniProtKB accession:  Q8BGT1

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Functions in cell-cell adhesion, cell migration and axon guidance, exerting an attractive or repulsive role depending on its interaction partners (PubMed:19056886, PubMed:25374360). Plays a role in the spatial organization of brain neurons (PubMed:25374360). Plays a role in vascular development in the retina (PubMed:25374360). Plays a role in cell-cell adhesion via its interaction with ADGRL3 and probably also other latrophilins that are expressed at the surface of adjacent cells (PubMed:22405201, PubMed:25374360). Interaction with the intracellular domain of ROBO1 mediates axon attraction towards cells expressing NTN1 (PubMed:24560577). Mediates axon growth cone collapse and plays a repulsive role in neuron guidance via its interaction with UNC5B, and possibly also other UNC-5 family members (PubMed:21673655, PubMed:25374360). Promotes neurite outgrowth (in vitro) (By similarity). Mediates cell-cell contacts that promote an increase both in neurite number and in neurite length (By similarity). Plays a role in the regulation of the density of glutamaergic synapses (PubMed:22405201). Plays a role in fibroblast growth factor-mediated signaling cascades (PubMed:16872596). Required for normal morphogenesis during embryonic development, but not for normal embryonic patterning (PubMed:19056886). Required for normal ventral closure, headfold fusion and definitive endoderm migration during embryonic development (PubMed:18448090). Required for the formation of a normal basement membrane and the maintenance of a normal anterior visceral endoderm during embryonic development (PubMed:19056886).
