MAGE_N

Melanoma associated antigen family N terminal
SMART ACC:SM001392
Description:This domain family is found in eukaryotes, and is typically between 82 and 96 amino acids in length. This family is the N terminal of various melanoma associated antigens. These are tumor rejection antigens which are expressed on HLA-A1 of tumor cells and they are recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).

InterPro abstract:

This domain is found N-terminal in various melanoma associated antigens from eukaryotes, and is typically between 82 and 96 amino acids in length. These are tumour rejection antigens which are expressed on HLA-A1 of tumour cells and they are recognised by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) [ PUBMED:7642112 ].
