The product of this gene belongs to the family of highly homologous synovial sarcoma X (SSX) breakpoint proteins. These proteins may function as transcriptional repressors. They are also capable of eliciting spontaneous humoral and cellular immune responses in cancer patients, and are potentially useful targets in cancer vaccine-based immunotherapy. While some of the related SSX genes are involved in t(X;18)(p11.2;q11.2) translocations that are characteristically found in all synovial sarcomas, this gene does not appear to be involved in such translocations. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
该基因的产物属于家庭高度同源的滑膜肉瘤X(SSX)断点蛋白质。这些蛋白质可以充当转录抑制。它们也能够引发癌症患者自发的体液和细胞免疫应答,且是潜在的癌症基于疫苗免疫治疗的目标。虽然一些相关SSX基因参与T(X 18)(P11.2; q11.2),它们在所有的滑膜肉瘤特征发现易位,该基因似乎不参与这些易位。编码不同的两种亚型变种成绩单已经确定了这个基因。 [由RefSeq的,2013年7月提供]
