Function
Promotes formation and maturation of oligodendrocytes, especially within the brain. Cooperates with OLIG2 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube (By similarity).
During central nervous system development, olig1 assists olig2 in formation of the motor neuron progenitor domain (pmn), the area responsible for generation of motor neurons and oligodendrocytes
