About GAGE1

Cytogenetic location: Xp11.23 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:49,599,013-49,608,538 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 30 orthologues and 22 paralogues. Restricted expression toward testis (RPKM 23.5).

Summary

This gene belongs to a family of genes that are expressed in a variety of tumors but not in normal tissues, except for the testis. The sequences of the family members are highly related but differ by scattered nucleotide substitutions. The antigenic peptide YRPRPRRY, which is also encoded by several Other family members, is recognized by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes. Nothing is presently known about the function of this protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
