CT5CT identifier:
Unified entry for genes SSX4, SSX4B (nearly-identical copies)
The CTpedia entry for SSX4 refers to a unified entry for SSX4 and SSX4B which are nearly identical gene copies.
SSX4 has been reported to be expressed in sarcoma, and in hematologic, brain, hepatobiliary, lung, melanocytic and ovarian cancers at the mRNA level. Spontaneous humoral, but not cellular, responses against SSX4 have been detected in cancer patients.
SSX proteins appear to be transcriptional regulators.
