About This Section

EntrezGene summary for MAGEA8:
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. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MAGA8_HUMAN, P43361
Function: Not known, though may play a role in embryonal development and tumor transformation or
aspects of tumor progression
