Max-like protein X is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the MLXgene.[5][6]
Function
The product of this gene belongs to the family of
basic helix-loop-helixleucine zipper (bHLH-Zip)
transcription factors. These factors form
heterodimers with Mad proteins and play a role in proliferation, determination and differentiation. This gene product may act to diversify Mad family function by its restricted association with a subset of the Mad family of transcriptional repressors, namely
Mad1 and Mad4. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.[6]
