CT4CT identifier:
CT4.1Aliases from NCBI:
MGC33825Unified entry for genes GAGE1, GAGE12B, GAGE12C, GAGE12D, GAGE12E, GAGE12F, GAGE12G, GAGE12H, GAGE12I, GAGE12J, GAGE13, GAGE2A, GAGE4, GAGE5, GAGE6, GAGE7, GAGE8 (nearly-identical copies)
Sixteen complete GAGE genes are found at Xp11.23. Two groups of eight GAGE genes are separated by a 50kb gap in the genomic sequence.
GAGE has been reported to be expressed in a wide range of tumors at the mRNA and protein levels.
Spontaneous humoral and cellular responses against GAGE have been detected in cancer patients.
GAGE may have a role in chromatin regulation.
