MDM4 (MDM4 regulator of p53) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Skin cancer, Breast cancer, Prostate cancer and 1 more.
Contributes to p53/TP53 regulation. Inhibits p53/TP53- and p73/TP73-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by binding their transcriptional activation domains. Inhibits degradation of MDM2.
CIViC holds 2 clinical evidence items and 0 assertions across 2 variants, naming Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab and Atezolizumab. Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.75 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes affected pathway 0.57, literature 0.99, genetic association 0.60, somatic mutation 0.97, animal model 0.49).

No product in this corpus aims at MDM4 yet. Drugs bind the molecule precisely: to switch it off, flag the cell for the immune system, or deliver a payload.
Broadly expressed or essential: HPA finds the RNA at low tissue specificity; a medicine acting on the wild-type protein would expose normal tissue too. HPA MDM4: RNA low tissue specificity; high antibody staining in 23 normal tissues; highest cancer staining ovarian cancer (10 of 11 high). Distribution: 3 cancer families in the corpus carry a prevalence row, label threshold or catalogue link for it (Skin cancer (all types), Breast cancer (all types), Prostate cancer); Open Targets associates it with 1 specific cancer type at or above 0.5 (prostate carcinoma). (Rule 7 of scripts/fetch-target-specificity.ts.)

Contributes to p53/TP53 regulation. Inhibits p53/TP53- and p73/TP73-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by binding their transcriptional activation domains. Inhibits degradation of MDM2. Can reverse MDM2-targeted degradation of TP53 while maintaining suppression of TP53 transactivation and apoptotic functions. Location: Nucleus; Cytoplasm (UniProt). Locus 1q32.1 (HGNC).
RNA: low tissue specificity, detected in all normal tissues.
Medium: Adipose tissue, Appendix, Breast, Caudate, Epididymis, Esophagus, Gallbladder, Heart muscle.
Medium only: head and neck cancer, prostate cancer, testis cancer.
