Background
Melanoma-associated antigen 8, Cancer/testis antigen 1.8, CT1.8, MAGE-8 antigenMAGEA8 (MAGE Family Member A8) 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 MAGEA8 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. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
