basic FUNCTION
| enhancing neurite outgrowth and involved in neuronal differentiation |
|
role of SLIRTK1 in developmental neuropsychiatric conditions (Kajiwara 2009) |
|
contributes to the development of corticostriatal-thalamocortical circuits |
|
implicated in mediating basic neuronal processes, ranging from neurite outgrowth and dendritic elaboration to neuronal survival |
|
SLITRK1, SLITRK2, SLITK3, SLITRK4, SLITRK5 and SLITRK6 are differentially localized to distinct synapse types and regulate the formation of the respective synapses in an isoform-dependent manner |
|
SLITRK1, SLITRK2, SLITRK4, and SLITRK5 specifically acted at excitatory synapses in various functional assays |
