Slitrk6 is a member of the Slitrk family of proteins, which are integral membrane proteins
possessing two leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains and a carboxy-terminal domain partially
similar to that in the trk neurotrophin receptor proteins. Here, I show that Slitrk6 is uniquely
expressed in various organs, different from other Slitrk genes which are predominantly
expressed in neural tissues. In the developing mouse embryo, Slitrk6 expression was
detected in the otic cyst, lateral trunk epidermis and its underlying mesenchymal tissue, limb …
