Protein Domain : MAGE homology domain, winged helix WH1 motif

Primary Identifier  IPR041898 Type  Homologous_superfamily
Short Name  MAGE_WH1
description  This superfamily includes MAGE (melanoma antigen-encoding gene) proteins, which are expressed in a wide variety of tumours but not in normal cells, with the exception of the male germ cells, placenta, and, possibly, cells of the developing embryo. The cellular function is currently unknown. This superfamily also contains the yeast protein, Nse3. The Nse3 proteinis part of the Smc5-6 complex and interacts with NSE4/EID family proteins [, ]. Nse3 has been demonstrated to be important in meiosis [].MAGE proteins share a conserved domain known as the MAGE homology domain (MHD). This superfamily entry represents the domain that contains a winged helix motif WH1.
