Ntn1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of axon extension; small GTPase-mediated signal transduction; and substrate-dependent cell migration, cell extension. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in basement membrane and glutamatergic synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital mirror movement disorder. Orthologous to human NTN1 (netrin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Ntn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
