MAGEA5CT family:
CT1CT identifier:
CT1.5Aliases from NCBI:
MAGE5 , MGC129526The MAGEA family is comprised of 12 highly homologous genes clusted at Xq28. The genes are characterized by the presence of a conserved domain (MHD, MAGE Homology Domain).
MAGEA5 mRNA has been reported to be expressed in the normal testis and in breast, head and neck, and lung cancers at the mRNA level.
