MAGED4B
MAGED4B is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) family. This gene is located on chromosome X and is involved in various cellular processes.
Function[edit | edit source]
The protein encoded by MAGED4B is thought to play a role in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. It may also be involved in the development of certain cancers.
Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
Mutations in the MAGED4B gene have been associated with certain types of cancer, although more research is needed to fully understand its role in tumorigenesis.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
MAGED4B has been shown to interact with other proteins involved in cellular signaling pathways, suggesting a role in regulating gene expression and cell function.
