Gene: SLITRK4

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a transmembrane protein belonging to the the SLITRK family. These family members include two N-terminal leucine-rich repeat domains similar to those found in the axonal growth-controlling protein SLIT, as well as C-terminal regions similar to neurotrophin receptors. Studies of an homologous protein in mouse suggest that this family member functions to suppress neurite outgrowth. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: X

Location in Chromosome : Xq27.3

Description of this Gene: SLIT and NTRK like family member 4

Type of Gene: protein-coding
