METRN (Meteorin, Glial Cell Differentiation Regulator) is a Protein Coding gene. The encoded protein belongs to the meteorin family. It is broadly expressed in the brain, kidney, and other tissues. Meteorin is a novel secreted protein that is expressed in undifferentiated neural progenitors and the astrocyte lineage, including radial glia. It plays important role in the differentiation of glial cells and also in axonal network formation during neurogenesis. Meteorin selectively promoted astrocyte formation from mouse cerebrocortical neurospheres in differentiation culture, whereas it induced cerebellar astrocytes to become radial glia. Meteorin also induced axonal extension in small and intermediate neurons of sensory ganglia by activating nearby satellite glia.
