Reelin signalling pathway
Reelin (RELN) is an extracellular, multifunctional signal glycoprotein that controls not only the positioning of neurons in the developing brain, but also their growth, maturation, and synaptic activity in the adult brain (Stranahan et al. 2013). Abnormal Reelin expression in the brain is implicated in a number of neuropsychiatric disorders including autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and Alzheimer's disease (Folsom & Fatemi 2013).
Neurogenesis is the process by which neural stem cells give rise to neurons, and occurs both during embryonic and perinatal development as well as in specific brain lineages during adult life (reviewed in Gotz and Huttner, 2005; Yao et al, 2016; Kriegstein and Alvarez-Buylla, 2009).
As early steps towards capturing the array of processes by which a fertilized egg gives rise to the diverse tissues of the body, examples of several processes have been annotated. Aspects of processes involved in most developmental processes, transcriptional regulation of pluripotent stem cells, gastrulation, and activation of HOX genes during differentiation are annotated. More specialized processes include nervous system development , aspects of the roles of cell adhesion molecules in axonal guidance and myogenesis, transcriptional regulation in pancreatic beta cell, cardiogenesis, transcriptional regulation of granulopoeisis, transcriptional regulation of testis differentiation, transcriptional regulation of white adipocyte differentiation, and molecular events of "nodal" signaling, LGI-ADAM interactions, and keratinization.
