MEN1
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. Two variants of the shorter transcript have been identified where alternative splicing affects the coding sequence. Five variants where alternative splicing takes place in the 5' UTR have also been identified. History In 1988, researchers at Uppsala University Hospital and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm mapped the ''MEN1'' gene to the long arm of chromosome 11. The gene was finally cloned in 1997. Genomics The gene is located on long arm of chromosome 11 (11q13) between base ...

Menin (title)
In ''Ancien Régime'' France, a ''menin'' ({{IPA-fr, mənɛ̃) was one of six gentlemen who were particularly attached to the person of the dauphin. They were also known as ''gentilshommes de la manche''. The word originates in the Portuguese word ''menino'' (masculine) or ''menina'' (feminine, as in the title of the Vélasquez painting ''Las Meninas''), meaning boy or girl, where it denoted a young nobleman made a companion to the royal children. The word was used in France for the first time in 1680 when the household of the Grand Dauphin was set up. Holders of this office during the Ancien Régime included marquis de Dangeau, the marquis de Mimeure and the comte du Muy. The Bourbon Restoration saw the return of many old court offices, and the duc d'Angoulême (dauphin from the accession of Charles X Charles X (born Charles Philippe, Count of Artois; 9 October 1757 – 6 November 1836) was King of France from 16 September 1824 until 2 August 1830.

Menin Gate
The Menin Gate ( nl, Menenpoort), officially the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing, is a war memorial in Ypres, Belgium, dedicated to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient of World War I and whose graves are unknown. The memorial is located at the eastern exit of the town and marks the starting point for one of the main roads out of the town that led Allied soldiers to the front line. “Menin” is the traditional name of the gate in this location of Ypres' city walls because it leads to the town of Menen. Designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield and built by the Imperial War Graves Commission (since renamed the Commonwealth War Graves Commission), the Menin Gate Memorial was unveiled on 24 July 1927. In early 2023, Menin Gate will close for extensive restoration works in time for the memorials centenary in 2027. Background In medieval times, the original narrow gateway on the eastern wall of Ypres was called the Hangoartpoort, "poort" being ...
