Background: SLITRK6

SLITRK6 (Slit and Trk-like family member 6) is a type I transmembrane member of the SLITRK family of proteins which contain a slit-like extracellular region and (save for SLITRK1) a Trk-like cytoplasmic region. Mature human SLITRK6 consists of a 582 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with 5 leucine rich repeats (LRR) flanked by N-and C-terminal LRR domains, followed by 6 more LRR flanked by another pair of N- and C-terminal LRR domains (1, 2). Within the ECD, human SLITRK6 shares 88% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat SLITRK6. SLITRK6 is expressed in multiple regions of the developing nervous system, notably in the otic vesicle, cochlear and vestibular sensory epithelia, and spiral and vestibular ganglion neurons (3, 4). It can suppress neurite outgrowth and promote the formation of excitatory and inhibitory presynaptic structures (2, 5). Mice lacking SLITRK6 exhibit delayed retinal synaptogenesis and multiple auditory abnormalities as well as defective auditory sensory innervation, neuronal loss in the vestibular ganglia, and reduced cochlear expression of BDNF, NT-3, TrkB, and TrkC (4, 6, 7). In humans, nonsense mutations of SLITRK6 are associated with myopia and sensorial deafness (6).
