M1AP
Description
The M1AP gene, located on chromosome 15, encodes a protein crucial for neuronal development and function. It plays a role in various cellular processes, including axonal guidance, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal survival. M1AP interacts with several other proteins, forming intricate networks that regulate these critical functions. Mutations in the M1AP gene can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders, highlighting its importance in maintaining normal brain function.
