Unc5d Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable netrin receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in axon guidance and cell-cell adhesion via plasma-membrane adhesion molecules. Predicted to act upstream of or within pyramidal neuron differentiation and regulation of neuron migration. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Orthologous to human UNC5D (unc-5 netrin receptor D). [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 Unc5d often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
