motifs/domains
  • a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) motif
  • a nuclear localization signal
  • mono polymer heteromer , dimer
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to rattus Mxd1 (89.6 pc)
    homolog to murine Mxd1 (89 pc)
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • subfamily of MAX-interacting proteins
  • CATEGORY transcription factor , tumor suppressor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a transcriptional repressor
  • antagonizing MYC transcriptional activity through interaction with the N-COR/SIN3/HDAC corepressor complex (by the recruitment of opposing chromatin remodeling activities compared to Myc)
  • inhibiting apoptosis via downregulation of PTEN expression
  • interacts with NEK2 at the kinetochore and possibly functions as a novel integrator of spindle checkpoint signaling
  • key role for the MYC-MAX-MXD1 network in the development and progression of neural crest tumors
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth
    nucleotide, transcription, regulation
