MNS1

Description

MNS1 (Mind bomb 1) is a gene that plays a vital role in the development and function of the nervous system. It encodes a protein involved in the Notch signaling pathway, a critical mechanism for cell-cell communication during development. This pathway regulates various processes, including cell fate determination, differentiation, and proliferation. Mutations in MNS1 can disrupt this signaling cascade, leading to a range of developmental disorders.
