Anti-Netrin-1 Antibody

Netrin-1 is a secreted, bifunctional ligand belonging to the Netrin family; a group of proteins known to act as versatile, chemotropic axon guidance cues for CNS commissural and peripheral motor axons. Netrin-1 is necessary for spinal cord oligodendrocyte development. There are two receptors with which Netrin-1 is associated and that will cause it to be either a chemoattractant or a chemorepellant for axons. Receptor Deleted in Colorectal Cancer (DCC) regulates the attraction of axons to Netrin-1, and UNC5 mediates axon repulsion from Netrin-1. Studies have shown Netrin-1 to function as a survival factor through its relationship to its receptors, inhibiting the onset of apoptosis. Netrin-1 has also been implicated in colorectal tumorigenesis via its apoptotic regulatory role. Expression of Netrin-1 has been detected in adult axons and oligodendrocytes, and is also widely observed in developing embryonic mesodermal tissues and nervous system.
