Menin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEN1 gene. Menin is a putative tumor suppressor associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1 syndrome).In vitro studies have shown that menin is localized to the nucleus possesses two functional nuclear localization signals and inhibits transcriptional activation by JunD. However the function of this protein is not known. Two messages have been detected on northern blots but the larger message has not been characterized.
