Olig2 | Oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2; Required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron specification in the spinal cord, as well as for the development of somatic motor neurons in the hindbrain. Functions together with ZNF488 to promote oligodendrocyte differentiation. Cooperates with OLIG1 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube. Antagonist of V2 interneuron and of NKX2-2-induced V3 interneuron development. (323 aa) | ||||
Akna | Microtubule organization protein AKNA; Centrosomal protein that plays a key role in cell delamination by regulating microtubule organization. Required for the delamination and retention of neural stem cells from the subventricular zone during neurogenesis. Also regulates the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in other epithelial cells. Acts by increasing centrosomal microtubule nucleation and recruiting nucleation factors and minus-end stabilizers, thereby destabilizing microtubules at the adherens junctions and mediating constriction of the apical endfoot. In addition, may also act [...] (1404 aa) |
