Function |
Induces the collapse and paralysis of neuronal growth cones. Could serve as a ligand that guides specific growth cones by a motility-inhibiting mechanism. Binds to neuropilin.
|
Subcellular Location |
Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed at relatively high levels in brain and muscle, moderate levels in lung, bursa, and heart and virtually absent in liver. Collapsin-1, -2, -3, and -5 bind to overlapping but distinct axon tracts.
