Besides being involved in axon repulsion during neuronal system development, SLIT-ROBO signaling is also involved in dendrite branching. Based on studies in mice, SLIT1 triggers cortical dendrite branching by activating receptors ROBO1 and/or ROBO2. ROBO effector NCK2 is needed for SLIT1-mediated dendrite branching (Round and Sun 2011).
