developmental stage:At 20 weeks of gestation, expressed in multiple brain regions, including the developing neo-cortical plate, subplate zone, striatum, globus pallidus, thalamus and subthalamus.,disease:Defects in SLITRK1 may be a cause of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) [MIM:137580]. GTS is a neurologic disorder manifested particularly by motor and vocal tics and associated with behavioral abnormalities.,function:Enhances neuronal dendrite outgrowth.,similarity:Belongs to the SLITRK family.,similarity:Contains 13 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.,tissue specificity:Expressed predominantly in the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex of the brain. Also expressed in some astrocytic brain tumors such as astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, gliobastomas, gangliogliomas and primitive neuroectodermal tumors.,
