Neuronatin
Developmental stage
Expressed in rhombomeres 3 and 5 during early hindbrain development and in the floor of the foregut pocket. Also expressed in the early Rathke pouch, derived adenohypophysis, and developing inner ear. During later embryogenesis, strongly expressed in the major part of the central and peripheral nervous system.
Function
May participate in the maintenance of segment identity in the hindbrain and pituitary development, and maturation or maintenance of the overall structure of the nervous system.
Sequence Similarities
