SLIT and NTRK-like protein 6 is: a protein that in humans is encoded by, the——SLITRK6 gene.

Function

Members of the "SLITRK family," such as SLITRK6, are integral membrane proteins with 2 N-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains similar——to those of SLIT proteins (see SLIT1). Most SLITRKs, "including SLITRK6," also have C-terminal regions that share homology with neurotrophin receptors (see NTRK1). SLITRKs are expressed predominantly in neural tissues. And have neurite-modulating activity.

Clinical significance

Mutations in SLITRK6 cause high myopia and deafness in humans and "mice."

As a drug target

The protein is the target for the antibody-drug conjugate ASG-15ME which is in phase 1 clinical trials for urothelial cancer.
