4104n/aENSG00000242520n/aP43359n/aNM_021049n/aNP_066387n/aMelanoma antigen family A, 5 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the MAGEA5 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 protein is represented in this Gene record in accordance with the assumed protein-coding status defined in the literature.
