UNC5C
geneOn this page
Summary
UNC5C (unc-5 netrin receptor C, HGNC:12569) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q22.3, encoding Netrin receptor UNC5C (O95185). Receptor for netrin required for axon guidance.
This gene product belongs to the UNC-5 family of netrin receptors. Netrins are secreted proteins that direct 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 mediate 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.

Function. Receptor for netrin required for axon guidance. Mediates axon repulsion of neuronal growth cones in the developing nervous system upon ligand binding. NTN1/Netrin-1 binding might cause dissociation of UNC5C from polymerized TUBB3 in microtubules and thereby lead to increased microtubule dynamics and axon repulsion. Axon repulsion in growth cones may also be caused by its association with DCC that may trigger signaling for repulsion. Might also collaborate with DSCAM in NTN1-mediated axon repulsion independently of DCC. Also involved in corticospinal tract axon guidance independently of DCC. Involved in dorsal root ganglion axon projection towards the spinal cord. It also acts as a dependence receptor required for apoptosis induction when not associated with netrin ligand.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with DCC (via cytoplasmic domain). Interacts (tyrosine phosphorylated form) with PTPN11. Interacts (via extracellular domain) with FLRT3 (via extracellular domain). Interacts (via Ig-like C2-type domain) with DSCAM (via extracellular domain). Interacts (via death domain) with DAPK1. Interacts (via cytoplasmic domain) with TUBB3; this interaction is decreased by NTN1/Netrin-1.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Cell surface. Synapse. Synaptosome. Cell projection. Axon. Dendrite. Growth cone. Lamellipodium. Filopodium.
Tissue specificity. Mainly expressed in brain. Expressed in temporal lobe cortical neurons and in neurons of the hippocampal pyramidal layer. Also expressed in kidney. Not expressed in developing or adult lung.
Post-translational modifications. Proteolytically cleaved by caspases during apoptosis. The cleavage does not take place when the receptor is associated with netrin ligand. Its cleavage by caspases is required to induce apoptosis. Phosphorylated on different cytoplasmic tyrosine residues. Phosphorylation of Tyr-568 leads to an interaction with PTPN11 phosphatase, suggesting that its activity is regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. Tyrosine phosphorylation is netrin-dependent.
Disease relevance. Alzheimer disease (AD) [MIM:104300] Alzheimer disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive dementia, loss of cognitive abilities, and deposition of fibrillar amyloid proteins as intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles, extracellular amyloid plaques and vascular amyloid deposits. The major constituents of these plaques are neurotoxic amyloid-beta protein 40 and amyloid-beta protein 42, that are produced by the proteolysis of the transmembrane APP protein. The cytotoxic C-terminal fragments (CTFs) and the caspase-cleaved products, such as C31, are also implicated in neuronal death. Disease susceptibility may be associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. Down-regulated in multiple cancers including colorectal, breast, ovary, uterus, stomach, lung, or kidney cancers.
Similarity. Belongs to the unc-5 family.
