Background
MAPE (Melanoma antigen preferentially expressed in tumors), also called PRAME (Preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma), is a protein that is preferentially expressed in tumors, particularly in melanoma. It plays a vital role in regulating cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, making it a promising target for therapeutic interventions. Studies have shown that the overexpression of MAPE protein is associated with aggressive melanoma subtypes, indicating its potential as a prognostic biomarker in melanoma patients.
