Structure
- forms tetramers (putative)
- belongs to the GAGE family
Alternative splicing
named isoforms=2
Expression
- restricted to germ cells
Genetics
- belongs to a multigene family expressed in a large variety of tumors whereas in normal tissues, expression is restricted to germ cells
- these genes organized in clustered repeats, have a high degree of predicted sequence identity, but differ by scattered single nucleotide substitution
- their sequences contain either the antigenic peptide YYWPRPRRY or YRPRPRRY which is recognized by cytotoxic T cells
