Neuroectodermal Markers

Neuroectoderm is one of the three germ layers in embryonic development. It originates from the surface ectoderm and further differentiates into the neural tube and neural crest, ultimately forming the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, and other structures. 

 Neuroectodermal markers are a class of biomolecules that are specifically expressed in cells derived from the embryonic neuroectoderm, including proteins, enzymes, receptors, and transcription factors. They are primarily expressed in neurons, glial cells, neuroendocrine cells, neural crest cells, and their corresponding tumor cells.
