[slit homolog-1] This human gene is related to Drosophila melanogaster slit (Itoh et al, 1998). The human gene (approved gene symbol: SLIT1 [slit guidance ligand 1]) is called also MEGF4 [multiple epidermal growth factor-like domains 4] because it contains several copies of an EGF-like repeat (Nakayama et al, 1998). Slit-1 and Slit-2 proteins show approximately 40 % amino acid identity to Drosophila melanogaster slit and 60 % identity to each other. Tanno et al (2004) have described a splice variant, designated Slit-1-alpha
