METRN Mouse

Source: Sf9, Baculovirus cells.Sterile Filtered colorless solution.Meteorin (METRN) is involved in both glial cell differentiation and axonal network formation during neurogenesis. METRN promotes astrocyte differentiation and transforms cerebellar astrocytes into radial glia. Moreover, the METRN protein stimulates axonal extension in small and intermediate neurons of sensory ganglia by activating nearby satellite glia.METRN produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 276 amino acids (22-291 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 30.2kDa (Migrates at 28-40kDa on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions). Protein function: 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. [The UniProt Consortium]
