This gene is a member of the XAGE subfamily, which belongs to the GAGE family. The GAGE genes are expressed in a variety of tumors and in some fetal and reproductive tissues. This gene is strongly expressed in normal testis, and in Ewing's sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, a breast cancer and a germ cell tumor. The protein encoded by this gene shares a sequence similarity with other GAGE/PAGE proteins. Because of the expression pattern and the sequence similarity, this protein also belongs to a family of CT (cancer-testis) antigens. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
这个基因是XAGE亚科,属于GAGE家族的一员。的GAGE基因在多种肿瘤,并在一些胎儿和生殖组织中表达。该基因在正常睾丸中强烈表达,而在尤文肉瘤,横纹肌肉瘤,乳腺癌和生殖细胞肿瘤。由该基因编码的蛋白质共享与其他GAGE / PAGE的蛋白质的序列相似性。因为表达模式和序列相似性,这种蛋白也属于一个家族的CT(癌 - 睾丸)抗原。 [由RefSeq的,2008年7月提供]
