Netrin receptor UNC5A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UNC5A gene.^[5]

UNC5A belongs to a family of netrin-1 (MIM 601614) receptors thought to mediate the chemorepulsive effect of netrin-1 on specific axons. For more information on UNC5 proteins, see UNC5C (MIM 603610).[supplied by OMIM]^[5]

Interactions[edit]

UNC5A has been shown to interact with MAGED1.^[6]
