NTNG2
Description
NTNG2 (Netrin G2) is a gene that encodes a protein crucial for proper neuronal development and function. This protein acts as a guidance cue, directing the growth of axons, the long extensions of neurons, to their target destinations. It is involved in various processes, including axon guidance, synapse formation, and neuronal survival. Dysregulation of NTNG2 expression or function has been implicated in several neurological disorders.

NTNG2 is a member of the netrin family, which plays a critical role in the development of the nervous system. This family of proteins has been likened to ‘road signs‘ for growing axons, guiding them towards their appropriate targets.
