Netrin receptor UNC5A (Unc5a)

Receptor for netrin required for axon guidance (PubMed:9126742, PubMed:10399920). Functions at the netrin signaling pathway and promotes neurite outgrowth in response to NTN1 (PubMed:19755150).

Mediates axon repulsion of neuronal growth cones in the developing nervous system in response to netrin (PubMed:10399920). Axon repulsion in growth cones may be mediated by its association with DCC that may trigger signaling for repulsion (PubMed:10399920).
