NCIt definition : Melanoma-associated antigen D1 (778 aa, 86 kDa) is encoded by the human MAGED1 gene.
This protein is involved in apoptosis.;
NCIt note : Encoded by MAGED1 Gene (MAGE Family), ubiquitous 778-amino acid 86-kD cytoplasmic
NRAGE Protein contains a 200-amino acid MAGE homology domain. NRAGE appears to shift
from cytoplasm to plasma membrane upon NGF stimulation to interact with p75NTR. NRAGE
antagonizes p75NTR association with TRKA, inhibits cell cycle progression, and facilitates
p75NTR-mediated apoptosis. NRAGE may regulate the function of DLX family members.
