Protein Domain : Repulsive guidance molecule, C-terminal IPR009496

Type  Domain
Description  This entry contains of several mammalian and one bird sequence from Gallus gallus (Chicken) and represents the C-terminal region of repulsive guidance molecule (RGM), although in some sequences it represents the full protein. RGM is a GPI-linked axon guidance molecule of the retinotectal system, and controls cell motility, adhesion, immune cell regulation and systemic iron metabolism [ , ]. RGM is repulsive for a subset of axons, those from the temporal half of the retina. Temporal retinal axons invade the anterior optic tectum in a superficial layer, and encounter RGM expressed in a gradient with increasing concentration along the anterior-posterior axis. Temporal axons are able to receive posterior-dependent information by sensing gradients or concentrations of guidance cues. Thus, RGM is likely to provide positional information for temporal axons invading the optic tectum in the stratum opticum [ ]. This domain is responsible for neogenin (NEO1) binding [, ].
