Product Specs

Introduction
G antigen family D member 2 (XAGE1A), part of the GAGE family, belongs to the XAGE subfamily. GAGE genes are expressed in various tumors and some fetal and reproductive tissues. XAGE1A, with a nuclear localization signal, shares sequence similarity with other GAGE/PAGE proteins. Its strong expression in Ewing's sarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, and normal testis, along with its sequence similarity, classifies XAGE1A as a cancer-testis (CT) antigen.
Description
Recombinant human XAGE1A, produced in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 104 amino acids (residues 1-81). It has a molecular weight of 11.5 kDa. The protein includes a 23 amino acid His-tag fused at the N-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance

Product Science Overview

Gene Characteristics
  • Gene Symbol: XAGE1A
  • Aliases: XAGE-1, CT12.1a, GAGED2, Cancer/Testis Antigen Family 12, Member 1a
  • Location: Chromosome X at position Xp11.22
Expression and Function

XAGE1A is strongly expressed in several types of cancers, including Ewing’s sarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, and normal testis . The protein encoded by this gene contains a nuclear localization signal and shares sequence similarity with other GAGE/PAGE proteins. Due to its expression pattern and sequence similarity, XAGE1A is classified as a cancer-testis (CT) antigen .

Alternative Splicing

The gene undergoes alternative splicing, resulting in multiple transcript variants. This means that the gene can produce different mRNA sequences, leading to the production of various protein isoforms .

Clinical Relevance

XAGE1A is associated with diseases such as small cell carcinoma and rhabdomyosarcoma . Its expression in tumors makes it a potential target for cancer immunotherapy, as CT antigens are often used in developing cancer vaccines and other therapeutic strategies .

Research and Applications

Research on XAGE1A focuses on its role in cancer biology and its potential as a biomarker for certain types of cancer. The recombinant form of the protein is used in various experimental setups to study its function and interactions .
