Gene information for MEN1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4221
Official gene symbolMEN1
Full namemultiple endocrine neoplasia I
Aliases,MEAI,SCG2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes menin, a putative tumor suppressor associated with a syndrome known as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. In vitro studies have shown menin is localized to the nucleus, possesses two functional nuclear localization signals, and inhibits transcriptional activation by JunD, however, the function of this protein is not known. Two messages have been detected on northern blots but the larger message has not been characterized. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
