basic FUNCTION
| playing a role in nervous system development |
|
promotes neurite outgrowth of both axons and dendrites |
|
implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (Eastwood 2008) |
|
axon-guidance-pathway molecules are involved in connectivity and repair throughout life (beyond guiding brain wiring during fetal development) (Lin 2009) |
|
NTGN1/LRRC4C, NTGN2/LRRC4 interactions differentially control synaptic plasticity in distinct circuits via retrograde signaling mechanisms |
|
pre-synaptic NTNG1 and NTNG2 diversify the complexity of vertebrate behaviors and differentially regulate post-synaptic properties |
