NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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. At least four variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
MAGE-A4: a member of the MAGE (melanoma-associated antigen) family of Cancer-Testis Antigens (CTAs). May play a role in embryonal development and tumor transformation or aspects of tumor progression. CTAs were once thought to be silenced in most normal adult tissues, with limited expression in fetal, placental, testis, and ovary cells. These proteins are now known to be aberrantly expressed in various cancers and many are capable of eliciting humoral and cellular immune responses. The MAGE family of proteins, encompassing 12 highly homologous genes clustered at Xq26-28, are tumor-specific antigens that can be recognized by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes. MAGE proteins are characterized by the presence of a conserved domain (MHD, MAGE Homology Domain). MAGE-A4 expression is high in ovarian serous carcinoma, various squamous carcinomas, testicular germ cell tumors, oesophageal mucosal melanoma, and triple-negative breast cancers. Spontaneous humoral and cellular immune responses against MAGE-A4 have been detected in cancer patients. MAGE family proteins bind to and activate RING E3 ubiquitin ligases.

Product Notes
The MAGEA4 magea4 (Catalog #AAA9131605) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MAGEA4 Polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MAGEA4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1:500 - 1:2000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MAGEA4 magea4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MAGEA4, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
