Melanoma growth stimulatory activity (Mgsa) is a polypeptide growth factor originally detected in culture medium of the human malignant melanoma cell line Hs294T and may have an autocrine role in neoplastic growth. Mgsa is a member of the small inducible gene (SIG) family and shares homology with beta-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4. Mgsa was localized to chromosome 5 using a cDNA probe for mouse Mgsa and somatic cell hybrids and is thus syntenic with Kit (W), Ph, Rw, and rs loci. The results eliminate Mgsa as the product of the Steel locus on chromosome 10, but raise the possibility that Mgsa might be synonymous with a chromosome 5 locus affecting skin pigmentation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level. Gene Polymorphism,Genetic Polymorphism,Polymorphism (Genetics),Genetic Polymorphisms,Gene Polymorphisms,Polymorphism, Gene,Polymorphisms (Genetics),Polymorphisms, Gene,Polymorphisms, Genetic
D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.
