ASTN family members play substantial roles in migration and organization of neuronal processes along glial fibers in ways that are key to proper development of laminated brain structures [191]. ASTNs is expressed at high levels in the adult hippocampus [172]. ASTNs knockouts slow the development of these structures [192]. ASTNs is upregulated after hippocampal lesions that induce synaptogenesis [193].
