MAGEA4 also known as MAGE-A4 is part of the melanoma-associated antigen family. This protein is encoded by the MAGEA4 gene and is characterized by a molecular mass of approximately 42 kDa. Its expression is limited to certain tissues including the testis and is often silent in normal somatic tissues. However MAGEA4 is frequently found in various types of tumors making it a target of interest for cancer research and therapy.
MAGEA4 participates in cellular processes related to cancer progression. Although not part of a multi-protein complex its presence in tumorous tissues suggests a role in modulating cellular mechanisms that favor tumor survival and proliferation. MAGEA4 does not directly interact with other proteins but might affect cellular pathways indirectly contributing to oncogenesis.
MAGEA4 influences several cellular mechanisms that are related to cancer development. While it is not a central player in major biological pathways its function relates to processes affecting cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. This connection was observed in studies showing interactions with other cancer-related proteins like p53 suggesting that MAGEA4 can modify responses to apoptotic signals and may interact with or affect the TP53 pathway.
MAGEA4 is prominently linked to various cancers including melanomas and carcinomas such as lung cancer. Its frequent expression in tumor cells but not in normal tissues makes MAGEA4 a target for cancer immunotherapy. Additionally studies have shown that MAGEA4 may interfere with the immune system's ability to detect and destroy cancerous cells partly due to interactions with proteins like CTLA-4 further emphasizing its potential as a therapeutic target in oncology.

All lanes: Western blot - Anti-MAGEA4 antibody [OTI1F9] (ab139297) at 1/4000 dilution
Lane 1: HEK-293T (human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney transformed with large T antigen) cell lysate transfected with pCMV6-ENTRY control at 5 µg
Lane 2: HEK-293T cell lysate transfected with pCMV6-ENTRY MAGEA4 cDNA at 5 µg

False colour image of Western blot: Anti-MAGEA4 antibody [OTI1F9] staining at 1/4000 dilution, shown in green; Rabbit anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [EP1332Y] (Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [EP1332Y] - Microtubule Marker ab52866) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab139297 was shown to bind specifically to MAGEA4. A band was observed at 40 kDa in wild-type A431 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MAGEA4 knockout cell line Human MAGEA4 knockout A-431 cell line ab273857 (knockout cell lysate ab273811). To generate this image, wild-type and MAGEA4 knockout A431 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.
