NES
Description
The NES (nestin) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) is an 8-bit home video game console produced by Nintendo. It was first released in Japan on 15 July 1983 as the Family Computer (Famicom). It was released in US test markets as the redesigned NES in October 1985, and fully launched in the US the following year. The NES was distributed in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia throughout the 1980s under various names. As a third-generation console, it mainly competed with Sega's Master System. The NES was designed by Masayuki Uemura. Nintendo's president, Hiroshi Yamauchi, called for a simple, cheap console that could run arcade games on cartridges. The controller design was reused from Nintendo's portable Game & Watch hardware. The western model was redesigned to resemble a video cassette recorder. Nintendo released add-ons such as the NES Zapper light gun for several shooting games, and R.O.B, a toy robot accessory.
NES plays a crucial role in brain and eye development. It facilitates the breakdown of phosphorylated vimentin intermediate filaments (IF) during cell division, potentially aiding in the transport and distribution of IF proteins and other cellular components to daughter cells during progenitor cell division. NES is essential for the survival, renewal, and growth of neural progenitor cells in response to mitogens.
NES is also known as Nbla00170.
