Neurotactin

Relationship

Family: Neurotactin

Block: C

Parent Family: Non-catalytic_C

Comment

Only the C-terminal part of Neurotactin is a member of the alpha/beta hydrolase family. The N-terminal part of Neurotactin has low complexity is desordered and is intracellular. Neurotactin is found only in arthropods Neurotactin is only detected during cell proliferation and differentiation, and it is found mainly in neural tissue and also in mesoderm and imaginal discs. Neurotactin has a large cytoplasmic domain rich in charged residues and an extracellular domain similar to cholinesterase that lacks the active site serine required for esterase activity. Amalgam is a ligand for the transmembrane receptor neurotactin and is required for neurotactin-mediated cell adhesion and axon fasciculation in Drosophila. Mutants of neurotactin revealed specific requirements for neurotactin during axon outgrowth, fasciculation, and guidance.
