Disease relevance of Kirrel2

 

High impact information on Kirrel2

  • Using the transgenic mouse in which the majority of OSNs express a particular OR, we identified such genes coding for the homophilic adhesive molecules Kirrel2/Kirrel3 and repulsive molecules ephrin-A5/EphA5 [2].
  • Kirrel2, a novel immunoglobulin superfamily gene expressed primarily in beta cells of the pancreatic islets [1].
  • Furthermore, adherens junctions (AJs) were formed around the apical end of processes extending from Neph3- and Dll1 mRNA-positive postmitotic precursors [3].
  • In this study, we have identified Neph3 as a specific marker for early postmitotic neural precursors in the VZ of the developing spinal cord [3].
