1W72, 3BO84100n/aENSG00000198681n/aP43355n/aNM_004988n/aNP_004979n/aMelanoma-associated antigen 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAGEA1 gene.

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 this gene family enables the same function to be expressed under different transcriptional controls.

The MAGEA genes are clustered at chromosomal location Xq28.
