Menin is a protein that is encoded by the MEN1 gene and is primarily found in the nucleus of cells. Research in this area focuses on understanding the role of menin in various cellular processes, including gene regulation, cell proliferation, and DNA repair. Mutations in the MEN1 gene have been linked to a rare genetic disorder known as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), which is characterized by the development of tumors in various endocrine glands. Studies on menin aim to elucidate its functions and how alterations in its activity contribute to the development of diseases such as cancer. Additionally, researchers are exploring the potential of menin as a target for therapeutic interventions in cancer treatment.
