Summary
MAGEE1 (MAGE family member E1, HGNC:24934) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xq13.3, encoding Melanoma-associated antigen E1 (Q9HCI5). May enhance ubiquitin ligase activity of RING-type zinc finger-containing E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases.
This gene encodes an alpha-dystrobrevin-associated MAGE (melanoma-associated antigen) protein, which is a member of the MAGE family. The protein contains a nuclear localization signal in the N-terminus, 30 12-amino acid repeats beginning at nt 60 with the consensus sequence ASEGPSTSVLPT, and two MAGE domains in the C-terminus. It may play a signaling role in brain, muscle, and peripheral nerve. This gene is located on X chromosome in a region containing loci linked to cognitive disability.
