RETN

Gene
retn
Protein
Protein dead ringer
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Length
911 amino acids
Function
Transcription factor which is a downstream target of gcm and repo. Directly or indirectly activates the transcription of locos and pros, which are essential for the development of some glial cells. Plays an essential role in defining the cell shape and migration characteristics of longitudinal glia that enable them to establish a normal axon scaffold.
