The MARVEL domain is a 130 amino acid motif that contains four transmembrane helices, both of which have cytoplasmic N- and C-terminal regions. MARVEL domain-containing proteins are thought to participate in tight junction regulation, the biogenesis of vesicular transport carriers and in cholesterol-rich membrane apposition events. MAL2 (mal, T-cell differentiation protein 2) is a 176 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein that is associated with lipid rafts and contains one MARVEL domain. Expressed predominately in liver, kidney and lung, MAL2 functions as a member of the polarized machinery transport system and is required for transcytosis, a transporter pathway used to deliver membrane-bound cargo from perinuclear endosomes to the apical surface in a raft-dependent manner. Differential expression of MAL2 is associated with several cancers, including renal cell carcinoma and childhood leukemia, suggesting a role for MAL2 in tumorigensis.

Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane. Endomembrane system. Cytoplasm > perinuclear region. Associated with lipid rafts. In polarized epithelial cells, restricted to the apical surface. In hepatocytes, as well as in polarized hepatoma HepG2 cells, found in the canalicular membrane, equivalent to the apical surface, beneath the canalicular actin cytoskeleton. In non-polarized HepG2 cells, distributed to the perinuclear region.

Predominantly expressed in kidney, lung, and liver. Also found in thyroid gland, stomach and, at lower levels in testis and small intestine.
