Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Receptor for netrin required for axon guidance. Mediates axon repulsion of neuronal growth cones in the developing nervous system upon ligand binding. Axon repulsion in growth cones may be caused by its association with DCC that may trigger signaling for repulsion. It also acts as a dependence receptor required for apoptosis induction when not associated with netrin ligand By similarity.
Subunit structure	Interacts with the cytoplasmic part of DCC. Interacts with GNAI2 via its cytoplasmic part By similarity.
Subcellular location	Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Highly expressed in brain. Expressed in lung during late development. Expressed during early blood vessel formation, in the semicircular canal and in a dorsal to ventral gradient in the retina. Ref.1 Ref.4
Post-translational modification	Phosphorylated on cytoplasmic tyrosine residues By similarity. Proteolytically cleaved by caspases during apoptosis. The cleavage does not take place when the receptor is associated with netrin ligand. Its cleavage by caspases is required to induce apoptosis By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the unc-5 family. Contains 1 death domain. Contains 1 Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domain. Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. Contains 2 TSP type-1 domains. Contains 1 ZU5 domain.
