This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that contains two N-terminal leucine-rich repeats domains and contains C-terminal regions similar to neurotrophin receptors. The encoded protein may play a role in modulating neurite activity. Alternatively s

It is involved in synaptogenesis and promotes excitatory synapse differentiation (PubMed:27273464, PubMed:27812321, PubMed:35840571). Suppresses neurite outgrowth (By similarity). Involved in the negative regulation of NTRK2 (PubMed:35840571). {
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed predominantly in the cerebral cortex of the brain but also at low levels in the spinal cord and medulla. Also expressed in some astrocytic brain tumors such as astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, glioblastomas, gangliogliomas a
