Involved in both glial cell differentiation and axonal network formation during neurogenesis. Promotes astrocyte differentiation and transforms cerebellar astrocytes into radial glia. Also induces axonal extension in small and intermediate neurons of sensory ganglia by activating nearby satellite glia.

Linearity
The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of ACE and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

Precision
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay):Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Intra-Assay CV: ≤3.9%
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):Three samples of known concentration were tested in five separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.
Inter-Assay CV: ≤7.7%
Protein Name
Meteorin
Recovery
Recovery was determined by spiking various levels of ACE into serum and plasma .
