CTAG2 - cancer/testis antigen 2 Gene
Also Known as CT2; ESO2; CAMEL; CT6.2; CT6.2a; CT6.2b; LAGE-1; LAGE2B
Species: Homo sapiens
About CTAG2
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 167 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 2.5), placenta (RPKM 1.4) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes an autoimmunogenic tumor antigen that belongs to the ESO/LAGE family of cancer-testis antigens. This protein is expressed in a wide array of cancers including melanoma, breast Cancer, bladder Cancer and prostate Cancer. This protein is also expressed in normal testis tissue. An alternative open reading frame product of this gene has been described in PMID:10399963. This alternate protein, termed CAMEL, is a tumor antigen that is recognized by melanoma-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
