CTAG1A - cancer/testis antigen 1A Gene
Also Known as ESO1; CT6.1; LAGE-2; LAGE2A; NY-ESO-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About CTAG1A
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 171 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Restricted expression toward testis (RPKM 4.4).
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a tumor cell antigen found in various types of cancers, which makes it a good candidate for a Cancer vaccine. This gene is also highly expressed in normal ovary and testis tissues. An identical copy of this gene is found on the same chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
