Receptor for SLIT1 and SLIT2 that mediates cellular responses to molecular guidance cues in cellular migration, including axonal navigation at the ventral midline of the neural tube and projection of axons to different regions during neuronal development (PubMed:10102268, PubMed:24560577). Interaction with the intracellular domain of FLRT3 mediates axon attraction towards cells expressing NTN1 (PubMed:24560577). In axon growth cones, the silencing of the attractive effect of NTN1 by SLIT2 may require the formation of a ROBO1-DCC complex (By similarity). Plays a role in the regulation of cell migration via its interaction with MYO9B; inhibits MYO9B-mediated stimulation of RHOA GTPase activity, and thereby leads to increased levels of active, GTP-bound RHOA (PubMed:26529257). May be required for lung development (By similarity). Homodimer. Dimerization is mediated by the extracellular domain and is independent of SLIT liganding (PubMed:24673457). Interacts with SLIT1 (By similarity). Interacts with SLIT2 (PubMed:10102268, PubMed:11404413, PubMed:17848514). Interacts with FLRT3 (PubMed:24560577). Interacts with MYO9B (via Rho-GAP domain) (PubMed:26529257). Detected at growth cones in thalamus neurons. Detected at growth cones in thalamus neurons (By similarity). PRRG4 prevents cell surface location and both colocalize in the Endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi adjacent to the cell nucleus (By similarity). Widely expressed, with exception of kidney. Ubiquitinated. May be deubiquitinated by USP33. Maps within a region of overlapping homozygous deletions characterized in both small cell lung cancer cell lines (SCLC) and in a breast cancer cell line. The promoter region of ROBO1 shows complete hypermethylation of CpG sites in the BT-20 breast tumor cell lines, some primary invasive breast carcinomasa and some primary clear cell renal cell carcinomas (CC-RCC). Incomplete. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. ROBO family.
