Description

The MN1 (MN1 proto-oncogene, transcriptional regulator) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 22.

The MN1 gene provides instructions for making a protein whose function is unclear. The MN1 protein interacts with other proteins known as transcription factors. These proteins attach to specific areas of DNA and help control the activity of particular genes. Based on its interaction with transcription factors, the MN1 protein is thought to play a role in regulating the activity of other genes, particularly those that are needed for the development of the skull and brain.

MN1 is also known as CEBALID, MGCR, MGCR1, MGCR1-PEN, dJ353E16.2.
