OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the melanoma antigen gene (MAGE) family. Most of the genes of this family encode tumor specific antigens that are not expressed in normal adult tissues except testis. Although the protein encoded by this gene shares strong homology with members of the MAGE family, it is expressed in almost all normal adult tissues. This gene has been demonstrated to be involved in the p75 neurotrophin receptor mediated programmed cell death pathway. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MAGED1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads MAGED1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MAGED1 could matter depends on whether native MAGED1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MAGED1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native MAGED1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label MAGED1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
