Unified entry for genes SSX2, SSX2b (nearly-identical copies)

The four members of the SSX family map to Xp11.23-p11.22.

The CTpedia entry for SSX2 refers to a unified entry for SSX2 and SSX2b which are nearly identical gene copies.

SSX2 has been reported to be expressed in a wide range of tumors at the mRNA level.

Spontaneous humoral and cellular responses against SSX2 have been detected in cancer patients.

The function of SSX2 is unknown, although it may act as a transcriptional regulator. SSX2 interacts with the N-terminal region of RAB3IP and SSX2IP, and may be fused with the SYT protein in synovial sarcoma.
