Structural highlights
Function
PROS_DROME Required for proper neuronal differentiation of most or all neurons and their precursors in central and peripheral nervous systems, axonal outgrowth and pathfinding. Not required for the specification of neuronal identity. May regulate transcription by binding to DNA.[1] [2] [3] [4]
