Gene information for XAGE2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9502
Official gene symbolXAGE2
Full nameX antigen family, member 2
Aliases,CT12.2,GAGED3,XAGE-2,XAGE2B,
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 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]
