The UNC-5 family of netrin receptors is known to regulate axon guidance, cell migration, and cell survival. We have previously demonstrated that unc5d, one of the UNC-5 family member genes, is specifically expressed in layer 4 of the developing rat neocortex (Zhong Y, Takemoto M, Fukuda T, Hattori Y, Murakami F, Nakajima D, Nakayama M, Yamamoto N. 2004. Identification of the genes that are expressed in the upper layers of the neocortex. Cereb Cortex. 14:1144-1152). However, the role of UNC5D in cortical development is still unknown...
