NCIt definition : Endoplasmic reticulum export factor CTAGE5 (804 aa, 91 kDa) is encoded by the human
CTAGE5 gene. This protein is involved in intracellular protein transport and tumor
induced immune responses.;
NCIt note : Endoplasmic reticulum export factor CTAGE5 is required for intracellular transport
and secretion of collagen VII (COL7A1) . (UniProt); It is not clear whether the MIA2/CTAGE5 locus is comprised of one gene or two distinct
genes. HGNC, EntrezGene and OMIM consider this locus to be part of the MIA2 gene (HGNC:18432).
However, UniProt has separate entries for the protein products of the melanoma inhibitory
activity 2-specific transcripts and cTAGE family member 5-specific transcripts.;
