basic FUNCTION	may be required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron specification in the spinal cord
	playing an essential role in the establishment of the neural crest-lateral neural plate boundary
	controlling the development of neural crest cells, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, three neuroectodermal-derived cells
	plays different roles in regulating the development of dorsal and ventral spinal cord
	is a key factor in early cerebellar development

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, transcription, regulation
