Structural decoding of netrin-4 reveals a regulatory function towards mature basement membranes

Structural decoding of netrin-4 reveals a regulatory function towards mature basement membranes

Netrins are secreted guidance factors that promote axon outgrowth and orientation during nervous system development. Here the authors present structural and biological evidence that netrin-4 is not a guidance cue per se, but rather functions to modulate laminin-laminin interactions.
