Two forms of the protein (the long and short isoforms) are produced from the same gene by the use of alternative initiation sites. A third isoform that is produced by alternative splicing is expressed only in the embryo. The extracellular domain of mouse DCC shares 97% and 99% amino acid sequence identity with human and rat DCC extracellular domains, respectively. DCC is a receptor for the Netrin family axon guidance molecules. DCC functions primarily in axon attraction, but is also a coreceptor with UNC5 receptors for axon repulsion.
