While lack of only one Ral GTPase was dispensable for early peripheral nerve development, ablation of both RalA and RalB resulted in persistent radial sorting defects, associated with hallmarks of deficits in Schwann cell process formation and maintenance.

Ablation of both RalA and RalB (but not individually) in Schwann cell resulted in impaired axon remyelination and target reinnervation following nerve injury, which resulted in slowed recovery of motor function.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
