Summary
Gene:
CTAG1B (official gene symbol)Other symbol:
CTAG1BCT family:
CT6CT identifier:
CT6.1Aliases from NCBI:
CTAG , CTAG1 , ESO1 , LAGE-2 , LAGE2B , NY-ESO-1Unified entry for genes CTAG1B, CTAG1A (nearly-identical copies)
The NY-ESO-1 family of three members is located at Xq28.
The CTpedia entry for CTAG1B refers to a unified entry for CTAG1B and CTAG1A which are nearly identical gene copies. CTAG1A is on the plus strand, while CTAG1B is on the minus strand.
CTAG1B has been reported to be expressed in a wide range of tumors at the mRNA and protein level.
Spontaneous humoral and cellular responses against CTAG1B have been detected in cancer patients. Antigen-specific immune responses can be induced by immunization with CTAG1B.
The function of CTAG1B is unknown.
