Netrin G2

Domain

The laminin N-terminal domain mediates 1:1 binding to NGL ligand with sub-micromolar affinity. Three NGL-binding loops mediate discrimination for LRRC4C/NGL1 among other NGLs by binding specifically to its LRR repeats. This specificity drives the sorting of a mixed population of molecules into discrete cell surface subdomains.

Function

Involved in controlling patterning and neuronal circuit formation at the laminar, cellular, subcellular and synaptic levels. Promotes neurite outgrowth of both axons and dendrites.

Involvement in disease

Neurodevelopmental disorder with behavioral abnormalities, absent speech, and hypotonia

NEDBASH

An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by global developmental delay with severely impaired intellectual development, impaired motor development, axial and peripheral hypotonia, poor speech and significant behavioral abnormalities, including autism spectrum disorder, hyperactivity, mood disorders, aggression, hand and face stereotypies, sleep disturbances, anxiety, self-injurious behavior, and bruxism.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications
