Metrn Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of axonogenesis and radial glial cell differentiation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; and spleen. Orthologous to human METRN (meteorin, glial cell differentiation regulator).
