Biological process

netrin signaling pathway, netrin-activated signal transduction pathway, netrin-activated signalling pathway, netrin-mediated signaling pathway

The series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of a netrin protein to its receptor on the surface of the target cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. Netrins can act as chemoattractant signals for some cells and chemorepellent signals for others. Netrins also have roles outside of cell and axon guidance.
