Metrn

Gene
METRN
Protein
Meteorin
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
293 amino acids
Function
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).
Similarity
Belongs to the meteorin family.
