TPTE is located at 21p11.
TPTE has been reported to be expressed in hepatobiliary and lung cancers at the mRNA level.
Spontaneous humoral, but not cellular, immune responses against TPTE have been detected in cancer patients.
The function of TPTE is unknown, but evidence suggests it could be important in spermatogenesis or the endocrine function in the testis.
