Meteorin is a gene encoding a protein that is part of the cytokine and growth factor family, primarily involved in neurogenesis and gliogenesis. It is located on chromosome 17p13.1 and is highly expressed in the nervous system, where it plays a role in promoting the differentiation and maturation of astrocytes and neural precursor cells. Meteorin functions by enhancing neurite outgrowth and synaptic development, crucial for proper neural network formation. Additionally, it has been implicated in angiogenesis, contributing to the development and maintenance of blood vessels in neural tissue. Research suggests that Meteorin has neuroprotective properties and may help in recovery from neural injury, making it a molecule of interest for therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases and brain injuries. Its expression and activity are also being studied in relation to inflammatory responses and potential roles in other tissues, offering insights into its diverse biological functions beyond the central nervous system.
