Gene information for MAGEA12 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4111
Official gene symbolMAGEA12
Full namemelanoma antigen family A, 12
Aliases,CT1.12,MAGE12,
Gene summaryThis 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. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
