This gene is a member of the MAGED gene family. It is expressed only in brain and ovary, and some transcript variants of this gene are specifically expressed in glioma cells. This gene is clustered with other MAGED genes on chromosome Xp11. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Function:
May enhance ubiquitin ligase activity of RING-type zinc finger-containing E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases. Proposed to act through recruitment and/or stabilization of the Ubl-conjugating enzyme (E2) at the E3:substrate complex.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed only in brain and ovary among normal tissues. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are specifically expressed in glioma cells among cancer cells. Detected in some renal cell carcinoma samples.
Similarity:
Contains 1 MAGE domain.
