MXD1 - MAX dimerization protein 1 Gene
Also Known as MAD; MAD1; BHLHC58
Species: Homo sapiens
About MXD1
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 203 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 58.4), esophagus (RPKM 54.2) and 16 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the MYC/MAX/MAD network of basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factors. The MYC/MAX/MAD transcription factors mediate cellular proliferation, differentiation and Apoptosis. The encoded protein antagonizes MYC-mediated transcriptional activation of target genes by competing for the binding partner MAX and recruiting repressor complexes containing histone deacetylases. Mutations in this gene may play a role in acute leukemia, and the encoded protein is a potential tumor suppressor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
