SLITRK5 is a member of Slitrk family, a family of neuronal transmembrane proteins that control neurite outgrowth. Structurally, Slitrk family members are characterized by two leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains located amino-terminally to the transmembrane domain and carboxy-terminally located tyrosine residues which are flanked by aa sequences. SLITRK5 is predominantly expressed in the brain (cerebral cortex). It's gene is localized on human chromosome 13q31.1. The protein plays an important role in suppressing neurite growth. The pathological role of the protein has been identified in various brain tumors.
