LAGE3 L antigen family member 3

Gene ID: 8270, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CVG5; ESO3; Pcc1; ITBA2; GAMOS2; DXS9879E; DXS9951E

Summary

This gene belongs to the ESO/LAGE gene family, members of which are clustered together on chromosome Xq28, and have similar exon-intron structures. Unlike the other family members which are normally expressed only in testis and activated in a wide range of human tumors, this gene is ubiquitously expressed in somatic tissues. The latter, combined with the finding that it is highly conserved in mouse and rat, suggests that the encoded protein is functionally important. An intronless pseudogene with high sequence similarity to this gene is located on chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
