Netrin-1 functions as a suppressor of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling

Abstract Netrin-1 is a secreted protein that is well known for its involvement in axonal guidance during embryonic development and as an enhancer of cancer cell metastasis. Despite extensive efforts, the molecular mechanisms behind many of the physiological functions of netrin-1 have remained elusiv...
