Anti-Olig 2

Protein function: Required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron specification in the spinal cord, as well as for the development of somatic motor neurons in the hindbrain (PubMed:11955448, PubMed:12121626, PubMed:16908628). Functions together with ZNF488 to promote oligodendrocyte differentiation (PubMed:16908628). Cooperates with OLIG1 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube (PubMed:11955448, PubMed:12121626). Antagonist of V2 interneuron and of NKX2-2-induced V3 interneuron development (PubMed:11955448, PubMed:12121626). [The UniProt Consortium]
