This intronless gene encodes a member of the SLITRK protein family. SLITRK proteins are integral membrane proteins that are characterized by two N-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains and a C-terminal region that shares homology with trk neurotrophin receptors. However, the protein encoded by this gene lacks the region of homology to neurotrophin receptors. Slitrk1 is thought to be involved in neurite outgrowth. Mutations in Slitrk1 may be associated with Tourette syndrome.
