Related Product Information for anti-METRN antibody

Meteorin is a 31kD, secreted protein that is expressed by undifferentiated neural and glial progenitors, and astrocytes. Its name derives from it ability to generate glial cells with long meteor-like tails. Mouse Meteorin is synthesized as a 291aa precursor that contains a 270aa mature region. It contains eight cysteines with no identifiable domains or N-linked glycosylation sites. There is one alternate splice form where the first 164aa of the precursor are deleted and aa165 is changed to a Met, possibly to serve in translation initiation. Mature mouse Meteorin is 82-77aa identical to human and bovine Meteorin, respectively.

NCBI Description

Meteorin regulates glial cell differentiation and promotes the formation of axonal networks during neurogenesis (Nishino et al., 2004 [PubMed 15085178]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

Uniprot Description

METRN: 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. Belongs to the meteorin family.
