| Abstract |
Teneurins are a unique family of transmembrane proteins conserved from Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster to vertebrates, in which four paralogs exist. In vertebrates, teneurin expression is most prominent in the developing brain. Based on their distinct, complementary expression patterns, we suggest a possible function in the establishment of proper connectivity in the brain. Functional studies show that teneurins can stimulate neurite outgrowth, but they might also play a role in axon guidance as well as in target recognition and synaptogenesis, possibly mediated by homophilic interactions. Though teneurins are transmembrane proteins, there is evidence that the intracellular domain has a nuclear function, since it can interact with nuclear proteins and influence transcription. Therefore, we speculate that teneurins might be processed by proteolytic cleavage (possibly regulated intramembrane proteolysis), which is triggered by homophilic interactions or, alternatively, by the binding of a still unknown ligand. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 September 2022.
All research outputs
#3,460,684
of 23,794,258 outputs
Outputs from Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
#571
of 4,151 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#8,372
of 72,986 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
#8
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,794,258 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 84th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,151 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 72,986 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
