DCC exerts its pro-apoptotic effect when netrin ligand is absent. When unbound to its ligand, DCC is cleaved roughly in the middle of its intracellular domain (aspartic acid residue 1290) by caspase-3 (Mehlen et al. 1998). The cleavage releases DCC's inhibitory C-terminal domain and exposes the addiction/dependence domain (ADD), which is sufficient for cell death induction.
