MXD4 - MAX dimerization protein 4 Gene
Also Known as MAD4; MST149; MSTP149; bHLHc12
Species: Homo sapiens
About MXD4
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 197 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in fat (RPKM 22.9), spleen (RPKM 18.5) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene is a member of the MAD gene family . The MAD genes encode basic helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper proteins that heterodimerize with MAX protein, forming a transcriptional repression complex. The MAD proteins compete for MAX binding with MYC, which heterodimerizes with MAX forming a transcriptional activation complex. Studies in rodents suggest that the MAD genes are tumor suppressors and contribute to the regulation of cell growth in differentiating tissues. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
