Species TM AA Chromosomal Location Gene Symbol Gene Name Reference
Human - 491 12q15 MDM2 MDM2 proto-oncogene
Mouse - 489 10 66.32 cM Mdm2 transformed mouse 3T3 cell double minute 2
Rat - 458 7q22 Mdm2 MDM2 proto-oncogene
Gene and Protein Information Comments
Alternative splicing of the human gene results in a multitude of transcript variants and protein isoforms. Many of these isoforms have been detected only in tumour cells.

Inhibitor Comments
Aileron Therapeutics are developing an α-helical stapled peptide (ALRN-6924; structure not disclosed) that inhibits the interaction between wild type p53 and the p53 repressor proteins MDM2 and MDMX [7], with the hope that this mechanism will re-activate p53-mediated induction of tumour cell apoptosis [1,6]. Small molecule MDM2 inhibitors in clinical pipelines include idasanutlin (RG7388; Roche), milademetan (DS-3032; Rain Therapeutics/Daiichi Sankyo), siremadlin (HDM201; Novartis) and AMG-232 (Amgen).
Biologically Significant Variant Comments
Splice variants which don't contain p53 binding domain sequences are found in late-stage and high-grade ovarian and bladder carcinomas.
General Comments
MDM2 is a nuclear E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. It can promote tumour formation by targeting the p53 tumour suppressor protein for proteasomal degradation [5,8-9]. MDM2 expression is regulated by p53 transcriptional activity.
