UNC5A (Unc-5 Netrin Receptor A) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Netrin-1 signaling and Netrin Signaling. An important paralog of this gene is UNC5C. UNC5A belongs to a family of netrin-1 (MIM 601614) receptors thought to mediate the chemorepulsive effect of netrin-1 on specific axons.
