Description

The SLIT3 (slit guidance ligand 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.

The SLIT3 gene in humans encodes the Slit homolog 3 protein.

Slit-3 might act as a molecular guidance cue during cell migration. This function is likely mediated through its interaction with Roundabout homolog receptors.

SLIT3 is also known as MEGF5, SLIL2, SLIT1, Slit-3, slit2.
