NES encodes a member of the intermediate filament protein family and is expressed primarily in nerve cells. NES (Nestin) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with NES include Brain Stem Cancer and Ependymoblastoma. Among its related pathways are Embryonic and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Differentiation Pathways and Lineage-specific Markers and Neural Stem Cell Differentiation Pathways and Lineage-specific Markers. GO annotations related to this gene include structural molecule activity and intermediate filament binding. An important paralog of this gene is SYNM.
