It binds with DNA or interacts with other protein to regulate the transcription of target gene,promote the tumor growth,cell adhesion(to resist apoptosis),the differentiation of progenitor cells.

Expression of astrocyte related gene during the differentiation of mesencephalic dopaminergic precursor cells in vitro

Recently,stem cells such as retinal stem cells(RSC),mesenchymal stem cells(MSC),embryonic stem cells(ESC),brain-derived stem cells(BDSC),also the cells such as retinal progenitor cells,retinal precursor cells,retinal epithelium(RPE) and Müller cells have been widely concerned in studying of retinal repairment and retinal regeneration.
