NCIt synonyms : PLAC6; Cancer/Testis Antigen Family 12, Member 3a Gene; XAGE-3; CT12.3a; X Antigen Family, Member 3 wt Allele; GAGED4; MGC71925; pp9012; Placenta-Specific Gene 6; Placenta-Specific 6 Gene; G Antigen, Family D, 4 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human XAGE3 wild-type allele is located within Xp11.22-p11.21 and is approximately
6 kb in length. This allele, which encodes G antigen family D member 4 protein, may
be involved in placental function.;
NCIt note : This gene is a member of the XAGE subfamily, which belongs to the GAGE family. The
GAGE genes are expressed in a variety of tumors and in some fetal and reproductive
tissues. Because of the expression pattern and the sequence similarity, this protein
also belongs to a family of cancer-testis antigens. (Entrez Gene);
