Melanoma-associated antigen C2 (MAGEC2), encoded by the testis cancer gene CT10, belongs to a family of proteins that bind E3 RING ubiquitin ligases via a common MAGE homology domain.1-3 The MAGE-RING complexes that are formed enhance the activity of the ubiquitin ligase binding partners. In vitro studies suggest that MAGEC2, which binds to TRIM28, is involved in tumorigenesis through the increased degradation of p53.4 In germ cell tumors, aberrant expression of MAGEC2 is exhibited in seminomas, but is absent in yolk sac tumor and embryonal carcinoma.5-7
