motifs/domains
  • a death domain motif
  • a canonical caspase cleavage site (413-DVID-416) in its cytoplasmic region, playing an important role in the induction of apoptosis

    basic FUNCTION
  • having serine protease inhibitor activity, and involved in signal transduction
  • may be having a role in laminar specification of cortical cells and circuitry
  • is a newly identified transcriptional target of pro&
  • 8209;apoptotic TP53 and may also act upstream of TP53 to induce TP53&
    8209;dependent apoptosis by phosphorylation at ser&
    8209;15
  • involvement of UNC5D gene in the severe myopic anisometropia
  • UNC5A, UNC5B, UNC5C and UNC5D encode dependence receptors that regulate the apoptosis/survival balance

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • FLRT2 interacting with UNC5D (FLRT2/UNC5D signalling modulates cortical neuron migration)
  • PRDM8 expression was almost coincident with UNC5D expression, a marker for the late multipolar phase
  • direct transcriptional target of TP53 (amplifies TP53-dependent apoptotic response)
  • UNC5A, UNC5B, UNC5C, UNC5D and ADGRL3 can simultaneously bind to FLRT3, forming a trimeric complex, and FLRT3 may form transsynaptic complexes with both ADGRL3 and UNC5
  • UNC5D interacts with FLRT2 in cis, controlling cell adhesion in response to externally presented
  • cell & other
