Neural migration is a critical step during brain development that requires the interactions of cell-surface guidance receptors. Cancer cells often hijack these mechanisms to disseminate. Here, we reveal crystal structures Uncoordinated-5 receptor D (Unc5D) in complex with morphogen glypican-3 (GPC3), forming an octameric glycoprotein complex. In complex, four Unc5D molecules pack into antiparallel bundle, flanked by GPC3 molecules. Central glycan-glycan are formed N-linked glycans emanating...
