Facts about Netrin receptor UNC5B.
Axon repulsion in growth cones may be caused by its association with DCC that may trigger signaling for repulsion (PubMed:10399920, PubMed:9126742). Functions as netrin receptor that negatively regulates vascular branching during angiogenesis.

Mainly expressed in regions of differentiating neurons. Expressed in the developing sensory ganglia that flank the spinal cord from E12, peaking at E14. Expressed in the roof plate region of the spinal cord from E14.
