netrin 1

The NTN1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called netrin-1, which is involved in the development of the nervous system. This protein attaches (binds) to a protein called netrin-1 receptor, and these two proteins fit together like a lock and key. The binding of netrin-1 to its receptor helps direct the growth of specialized nerve cell extensions called axons. Axons transmit nerve impulses that can signal muscle movement.

Normal function

The NTN1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called netrin-1, which is involved in the development of the nervous system. This protein attaches (binds) to a protein called netrin-1 receptor, and these two proteins fit together like a lock and key. The binding of netrin-1 to its receptor helps direct the growth of specialized nerve cell extensions called axons. Axons transmit nerve impulses that can signal muscle movement.

When the brain sends a signal to trigger muscle movement, the signal usually travels from one half of the brain to the opposite side of the body. Binding netrin-1 to its receptor allows axons to develop this signaling pathway.
