As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Netrin receptor UNC5C; Netrin receptor UNC5C. Netrin receptor UNC5C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UNC5C gene. This gene product belongs to the UNC-5 family of netrin receptors. Netrins are secreted proteins that axon extension and cell migration during neural development. They are bifunctional proteins that act as attractants for some cell types and as repellents for others, and these opposite actions are thought to be mediated by two classes of receptors. The UNC-5 family of receptors mediates the repellent response to netrin; they are transmembrane proteins containing 2 immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains and 2 type I thrombospondin motifs in the extracellular region. Functional note: Receptor for netrin required for axon guidance. Mediates axon repulsion of neuronal growth cones in the developing nervous system upon ligand binding. Axon repulsion in growth cones may be caused by its association with DCC that may trigger signaling for repulsion. Also involved in corticospinal tract axon guidances independently of DCC. It also acts as a dependence receptor required for apoptosis induction when not associated with netrin ligand. . Reported localization: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Cell junction, synapse, synaptosome . Expression/tissue context: Mainly expressed in brain. Also expressed in kidney. Not expressed in developing or adult lung. .
