Abstract:
Glial cells play fundamental roles in neurogenesis. In addition, defective or abnormal gliogenesis is associated with severe diseases. To understand the molecular basis of such diseases, it is crucial to identify the genes promoting normal gliogenesis. Here we identify GCMB, which encodes a human protein homologous to the fly glial promoting factor glial cell deficient/glial cell missing (glide/gcm).
