(Dorsal Inhibitory Axon Guidance Protein (DRAXIN))
Chemorepulsive axon guidance protein required for the development of spinal cord and forebrain commissures. Acts as a chemorepulsive guidance protein for commissural axons during development. Able to inhibit or repel neurite outgrowth from dorsal spinal cord and cortical explants in vitro. Binds directly to the neurites and growth cones.
