SLIT2

这个基因编码分泌糖蛋白slit家族的一个成员，它是免疫球蛋白受体robo家族的配体。slit蛋白在轴突引导和神经元迁移中起着高度保守的作用，在包括白细胞迁移在内的其他细胞迁移过程中也可能发挥作用。slit家族成员具有一个n末端信号肽、四个富含亮氨酸重复序列、九个表皮生长因子重复序列和一个c末端半胱氨酸结的特征。这种蛋白质的蛋白水解过程产生一个N-末端片段，包含四个富含亮氨酸的重复序列和五个表皮生长因子重复序列，以及一个C-末端片段，包含四个表皮生长因子重复序列和半胱氨酸结。全长和裂解的蛋白质都是在细胞外分泌的，在轴突排斥和其他特定过程中发挥作用。选择性剪接导致多个转录变体。[由RefSeq提供，2015年9月]
This gene encodes a member of the slit family of secreted glycoproteins, which are ligands for the Robo family of immunoglobulin receptors. Slit proteins play highly conserved roles in axon guidance and neuronal migration and may also have functions during other cell migration processes including leukocyte migration. Members of the slit family are characterized by an N-terminal signal peptide, four leucine-rich repeats, nine epidermal growth factor repeats, and a C-terminal cysteine knot. Proteolytic processing of this protein gives rise to an N-terminal fragment that contains the four leucine-rich repeats and five epidermal growth factor repeats and a C-terminal fragment that contains four epidermal growth factor repeats and the cysteine knot. Both full length and cleaved proteins are secreted extracellularly and can function in axon repulsion as well as other specific processes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
