关于 SLITRK4

功能概要

该基因编码属于 SLITRK 家族的跨膜蛋白。这些家族成员包括两个 N 末端富含亮氨酸的重复结构域，类似于在轴突生长控制蛋白 SLIT 中发现的结构域，以及类似于神经营养蛋白受体的 C 末端区域。对小鼠同源蛋白的研究表明，该家族成员具有抑制神经突生长的功能。可变剪接导致多个转录本变体。[RefSeq 提供，2010 年 5 月]

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein belonging to the the SLITRK family. These family members include two N-terminal leucine-rich repeat domains similar to those found in the axonal growth-controlling protein SLIT, as well as C-terminal regions similar to neurotrophin receptors. Studies of an homologous protein in mouse suggest that this family member functions to suppress neurite outgrowth. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
