Gene:
meteorin, glial cell differentiation regulator
Gene ID:
205807
Symbol:
METRN
Species:
1000
Description:
Involved in both glial cell differentiation and axonal network formation during neurogenesis. Promotes astrocyte differentiation and transforms cerebellar astrocytes into radial glia. Also induces axonal extension in small and intermediate neurons of sensory ganglia by activating nearby satellite glia (By similarity).
