Ngn2

Ngn2, or Neurogenin-2, is a protein that plays a crucial role in brain development. It functions as a transcription factor, meaning it helps control the activity of genes involved in forming nerve cells (neurons). During early development, Ngn2 guides stem cells to become neurons, shaping the nervous system. Scientists also use Ngn2 in laboratories to convert stem cells into neurons for research and potential therapies. Overall, Ngn2 is essential for proper brain formation and offers promising avenues for neurological research.
