Neurogenesis Modulator

Molecular classification
Neurotransmitter receptor, Growth factor, Cytokine, Transcription factor, Epigenetic regulator, MicroRNA
01

Overview

A "neurogenesis modulator" is a functional category encompassing various molecules, receptors, signaling pathways, and epigenetic mechanisms that regulate the process of neurogenesis—the generation of new neurons from neural stem/progenitor cells in the brain. These modulators can either promote or inhibit different stages of neurogenesis, including proliferation, differentiation, migration, maturation, and integration of new neurons. Examples include glutamate receptors, growth factors like Wnt and BMP, transcriptional regulators like REST/NRSF, and microRNAs.
