High impact information on UNC5A

  • UNC5A promotes neuronal apoptosis during spinal cord development independent of netrin-1 [1].
  • The lossreduction of expression may be a crucial mechanism for tumorigenicity because the expression of UNC5H1, UNC5H2, or UNC5H3 inhibits tumor cell anchorage-independent growth and invasion [2].
  • We mapped the NRAGE binding domain of UNC5H1 to its ZU-5 domain and show that this region, in addition to an adjacent PEST sequence, is required for UNC5H1-mediated apoptosis [3].
