What's a GeneRIF?

Metrn promotes migration of neuroblasts from subventricular zone explants of postnatal rats and stroke-subjected adult rats via a chemokinetic mechanism.
Title: Meteorin is a chemokinetic factor in neuroblast migration and promotes stroke-induced striatal neurogenesis.
Cellular protection afforded by meteorin is associated with normalization of neurological performance on spontaneous forelimb placing and cylinder behavioral tests.
Title: Lentiviral delivery of meteorin protects striatal neurons against excitotoxicity and reverses motor deficits in the quinolinic acid rat model.
Data show that Meteorin is expressed in the central nervous system both during development and in adult mice.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
