ID:SLIT1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Slit homolog 1 protein; Short=Slit-1; AltName: Full=Multiple epidermal growth factor-like domains protein 4; Short=Multiple EGF-like domains protein 4; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Thought to act as molecular guidance cue in cellular migration, and function appears to be mediated by interaction with roundabout homolog receptors. During neural development involved in axonal navigation at the ventral midline of the neural tube and projection of axons to different regions (By similarity). SLIT1 and SLIT2 together seem to be essential for midline guidance in the forebrain by acting as repulsive signal preventing inappropriate midline crossing by axons projecting from the olfactory bulb. SUBUNIT: Interacts with ROBO1 and GREM1 (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Predominantly expressed in adult forebrain. Expressed in fetal brain, lung and kidney. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 CTCK (C-terminal cystine knot-like) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 9 EGF-like domains. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 laminin G-like domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 20 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats. SIMILARITY: Contains 4 LRRCT domains. SIMILARITY: Contains 4 LRRNT domains. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAA32465.3; Type=Erroneous initiation;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
