Summary: Predicted to enable intermediate filament binding activity. Involved in brain development; embryonic camera-type eye development; and negative regulation of apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within cranial nerve development. Predicted to be located in intermediate filament. Is expressed in several structures, including adaxial cell; gut epithelium; nervous system; neural crest; and neuronal stem cell. Orthologous to human NES (nestin).

What's a GeneRIF?

Morphine increases GFP in nestin:GFP embryos and overexpresses the NSC marker Nestin. Morphine also exerts a hyperacetylation effect on H3K27 and decreases DNA methylation in a region 18 Kb upstream of the nestin transcription starting site. A binding site for the transcription factor complex Sox2/Oct4/Nanog was predicted.

Nestin gene may serve as a marker for stem cells and proliferating precursors in the developing embryonic nervous system as well as in the postembryonic brain[Nestin]
Title: Expression of the zebrafish intermediate neurofilament Nestin in the developing nervous system and in neural proliferation zones at postembryonic stages.
Results suggest that nestin is essential for brain and eye development probably through control of progenitor cell apoptosis.
Title: Nestin is essential for zebrafish brain and eye development through control of progenitor cell apoptosis.
Cells expressing the two reporters display radial glial morphology, colocalize with the NSC marker Sox2, undergo proliferation, and are capable of self-renewal within the matrix of distinct thickness in the telencephalon.
Title: gfap and nestin reporter lines reveal characteristics of neural progenitors in the adult zebrafish brain.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
