Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for UNC5C(NM_003728.4) Search again
Powered by BiozBy default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.
Summary
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.

Gene References into function
- may represent tumor suppressor that inhibit tumor extension outside the region of netrin-1 availability by inducing apoptosis
- Netrin binds through multiple domains to both DCC and Unc5c. in Caenorhabditis elegans indicate that both netrin binding and nonbinding domains are necessary for phenotypic rescue of an unc-5 loss of function mutation.
- Data suggest a model in which netrin stimulates UNC5 tyrosine phosphorylation and signaling in a manner dependent on the co-receptor DCC, through the recruitment of Src and FAK kinases.
- The loss of UNC5C expression observed in human colorectal cancer is a selective advantage for tumor progression
- study provides evidence that most colorectal cancers have alterations in both UNC5C and DCC netrin receptors; while UNC5C expression is regulated primarily via epigenetic regulation, DCC defects are mediated through allelic deletions
