Slit Guidance Ligand 2 (SLIT2)

Target
SLIT2
Molecular classification
Secreted glycoprotein, Guidance cue ligand
01

Overview

Slit guidance ligand 2 (SLIT2) is a secreted glycoprotein that acts as a molecular guidance cue, primarily involved in the regulation of cellular migration. It functions mainly through interaction with Roundabout (Robo) family receptors, playing critical roles in axon guidance, neuronal migration, and leukocyte migration. Emerging evidence links SLIT2 to inflammatory responses and gestational diabetes mellitus. It has multiple transcript variants due to alternative splicing, potentially giving rise to functionally distinct protein isoforms.
