Background: Draxin

Draxin (Dorsal repulsive axon guidance protein; also neucrin) is a secreted, 58 kDa, presumable glycoprotein member of the draxin family of molecules. In mammals, it is expressed in neurons (axons), astroglia, and likely cells of the developing somite. Draxin acts as a Wnt antagonist, apparently by binding to LRP6. The net effect is to block neural crest migration, and the organization of axons into functional tracts or bundles (fasciculation). Mature human Draxin is 324 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one potential N-linked glycosylation site, followed by a Cys-rich domain (aa 274-333). Mature human Draxin (aa 26-349) shares 79% aa identity with mature mouse Draxin.
