Novel classes of neural axon outgrowth promoting and orienting proteins or netrins, nucleic acids encoding netrins and cellular which selectively bind such netrins are disclosed. Agents such as netrin peptides are capable of effecting axon outgrowth, orientation and regeneration. These agents provide small molecular weight modulators of nerve cell growth useful in the treatment of neurological disease and injury. The disclosed compositions also find use variously in screening chemical libraries for regulators of axon outgrowth and orientation, in genetic mapping, as probes for related genes, as diagnostic reagents for genetic neurological disease and in the production of specific cellular and animal systems for the development of neurological disease therapy.

L'invention porte sur de nouvelles classes de protéines et de neutrines favorisant et orientant la croissance des axones neuraux, sur des acides nucléiques codant pour lesdites nétrines et sur des récepteurs se fixant sélectivement sur lesdites nétrines. Des agents tels que les peptides nétriniques sont capables d'orienter et de régénérer la croissance des axones neuraux. Ils constituent des modulateurs de faible poids moléculaire de la croissance de la cellule nerveuse s'avérant utiles dans le traitement des affections et traumatismes neurologiques. Les compositions présentées sont également utilisables pour le criblage de bibliothèques chimiques de régulateurs de la croissance et de l'orientation des axones, pour la cartographie génétique, comme sonde des gènes associés, comme réactif à fins diagnostiques des affections génétiques neurologiques et dans l'élaboration de systèmes cellulaires et animaux de développement de thérapies pour les affections neurologiques.
