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 strongly expressed in Ewing's sarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and normal testis. The protein encoded by this gene contains a nuclear localization signal and 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, in addition to alternative transcription start sites, results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
Annotation information

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (a, also known as XAGE-1a) encodes the longer isoform (a, also known as isoform XAGE-1b). This variant also includes a major downstream transcription start site, which results in the variant referred to as XAGE-1b in the literature. Both XAGE-1a and XAGE-1b encode the same isoform. This RefSeq contains an in-frame start site 65 codons upstream from the currently annotated site but is not being annotated as a start site since it is in a weak Kozak sequence context and experimental evidence indicates that the downstream AUG is used.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (d, also known as XAGE-1d) starts at a downstream transcription start site, and uses an alternate splice site in an internal exon that causes a frameshift in the 3' coding region, compared to variant a. The encoded isoform (d) has a distinct and shorter C-terminus, compared to isoform a.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (c, also known as XAGE-1c) differs in the 5'-most exon, compared to variant a. This variant is represented as non-coding due to the presence of two upstream ORFs that inhibit translation of the primary ORF, as indicated by experimental evidence in PMID:17335148.
