该基因编码Slitrk家族的一个成员，其结构相关的跨膜蛋白参与控制神经突起的生长编码的蛋白质包含两个富含亮氨酸重复序列（lrr）结构域和一个c末端结构域，该结构域与trk神经营养素受体蛋白部分相似。该基因在几种不同类型的肿瘤组织中表达增强选择性剪接导致多个转录变体，所有的编码相同的蛋白质。[由RefSeq提供，2016年1月]
This gene encodes a member of the Slitrk family of structurally related transmembrane proteins that are involved in controlling neurite outgrowth. The encoded protein contains two leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains and a C-terminal domain that is partially similar to Trk neurotrophin receptor protein. Enhanced expression of this gene was found in tissue from several different types of tumors. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, all encoding the same protein.
