MIA2 Gene

Name melanoma inhibitory activity 2
Description This gene encodes s receptor in the endoplasmic reticulum, which plays a role in the export of large pre-chylomicrons and pre-very low density lipoproteins (pre-VLDLs). Three major classes of transcripts are generated from this gene- melanoma inhibitory activity 2-specific transcripts, cTAGE family member 5-specific transcripts and transcripts that include exons from both these transcript species (TANGO1-like or TALI). Additionally, alternative splicing in these transcripts results in multiple transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMelanoma inhibitory activity 2 (MIA2) belongs to the MIA gene family and is predominantly expressed in hepatocytes, a specificity largely dictated by hepatocyte nuclear factor‐1 (HNF1)–responsive elements in its promoter region. MIA2 expression increases during liver injury and chronic inflammation—suggesting a role as an acute phase protein—and is markedly down‐regulated or lost in hepatocellular carcinoma. In fact, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, via the HBV X protein, represses MIA2 expression, thereby relieving its tumor suppressor functions and promoting enhanced cell growth and proliferation."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn addition to its roles in liver physiology and pathology, MIA2 functions in modulating protein secretion as part of the secretory pathway. In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, for example, MIA2—an HNF1A target—facilitates proper protein export and interfaces with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress/unfolded protein response system; a common MIA2 variant (p.I141M) is associated with a secretory defect and increased sensitivity to chemotherapy.
