Plays a role in neurogenesis. Prevents motor neuron cell body migration out of the neural tube. Expressed in the olfactory bulb, the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, and the cerebellum in the adult brain (at protein level) (PubMed:25941474). Strongly expressed in the subventricular zone,rostral migrate stream, and the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus (PubMed:25941474).
