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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. No Pfam Domain information is available for this gene. |positive regulation of axonogenesis| |hormone activity| |positive regulation of cell morphogenesis involved in differentiation| |glial cell differentiation| |regulation of axonogenesis| |gliogenesis| |positive regulation of neuron projection development| |regulation of cell morphogenesis involved in differentiation| |positive regulation of neuron differentiation| |positive regulation of cell projection organization| |positive regulation of neurogenesis| |regulation of cell morphogenesis| |regulation of neuron projection development| |positive regulation of nervous system development| |positive regulation of cell development| |regulation of neuron differentiation| |regulation of plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization| |regulation of cell projection organization| |regulation of neurogenesis| |regulation of nervous system development| |regulation of cell development| |positive regulation of cell differentiation| |regulation of anatomical structure morphogenesis| |positive regulation of cellular component organization| |positive regulation of developmental process| |generation of neurons| |extracellular space| |neurogenesis| |positive regulation of multicellular organismal process| |regulation of cell differentiation| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
