Gene information for XAGE1C (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID653048
Official gene symbolXAGE1C
Full nameX antigen family, member 1C
Aliases,CT12.1C,CTP9,GAGED2,XAGE1A,XAGE1B,XAGE1D,XAGE1E,
Gene summaryThis 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 Ewing's sarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and normal testis. The protein encoded by this gene contains a nuclear localization signal and 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. Alternative splicing of this gene, in addition to alternative transcription start sites, results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
