NCIt definition : Human MAGEL2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 15q11.2 and is approximately
4 kb in length. This allele, which encodes MAGE-like protein 2, plays a role in the
regulation of ubiquitin-protein transferase activity, endosomal protein recycling
and circadian rhythm. Mutations in the gene are associated with Schaaf-Yang syndrome
and may be associated with Prader-Willi syndrome.;
