General description

This gene is a member of the MAGEA gene family. The members of this family encode proteins with 50 to 80% sequence identity to each other. The promoters and first exons of the MAGEA genes show considerable variability, suggesting that the existence of this gene family enables the same function to be expressed under different transcriptional controls. The MAGEA genes are clustered at chromosomal location Xq28. They have been implicated in some hereditary disorders, such as dyskeratosis congenita. At least four variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

MAGEA4 (Melanoma antigen family A 4) induces growth in spontaneously transformed normal oral keratinocytes (NOK-SI) by blocking cell cycle at G1 phase as well as p53 mediated apoptosis. Its tumor suppressive property has also been reported. It may also act as a new marker for early detection of metastases in 160 chronic HCV (hepatitis C virus) Egyptian patients.
