Mitogen-inducible gene 6 protein (Mig-6), also designated Gene 33 or RALT, belongs to the Mig-6 family. The gene encoding for Mig-6 maps to chromosome 1p36.12-p36.33. Mig-6 is a cytoplasmic protein acting as a feedback inhibitor of ErbB-2 mitogenic function and can suppress ErbB-2 oncogenic activity. The expression of Mig-6 is upregulated with cell growth. Mig-6 binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) upon EGF stimulation and is considered a negative feedback regulator of EGFR and a potential tumor suppressor. Mig-6 induces transcriptional activation of NF˚B by binding to its inhibitor I˚B-å. It enables the cell to respond persistently to chronic stress. Mig-6 mRNA levels increase in response to stress such as diabetic nephropathy, vasoactive peptides or mechanical strain. Mig-6 is expressed in liver, placenta and lung.
