Background: Neuron navigator 1, also known as Unc-53 homolog 1, Steerin-1 and POMFIL3 (Pore membrane and/or filament-interacting-like protein 3), is a 1877 amino acid cytoplasmic protein that is involved in neuronal migration. Neuron navigtor 1 is widely expressed at low levels, though highest expression is found in both adult and fetal nervous tissue. Through interaction with tubulin, Neuron navigator 1 associates with a subset of mirotubule plus ends present in the growth cone. Overexpression of Neuron navigator 1 leads to microtubule bundling, whereas a reduction of its levels causes loss of directionality in the migration of pontine cell leading processes. There are seven isoforms of Neuron navigator 1 that are produced as a result of alternative splicing events.
