Staining summary

A subset of tumor cells in few cases of endometrial cancers and papillary adenocarcionomas of thyroid showed moderate nuclear staining. Several cases of gliomas along with head and neck cancers displayed weak positivity. A single case each of seminoma and urothelial cancer exhibited strong immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.

GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

XAGE3 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

CT12.3a, CT12.3b, GAGED4, PLAC6, pp9012, XAGE-3

Description

X antigen family, member 3 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

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. This gene is expressed in placenta and fetal liver/spleen, and may function in inhibiting cancer cell growth. The protein encoded by this gene shares a sequence similarity with other GAGE/PAGE proteins. Because of the expression pattern and the sequence similarity, this protein also belongs to a family of CT (cancer-testis) antigens. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript variants differing in the 5' UTR. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
