Alias
CT6.1 | ESO1 | LAGE-2 | LAGE2A | NY-ESO-1
The protein encoded by this gene is a tumor cell antigen found in various types of cancers, which makes it a good candidate for a cancer vaccine. This gene is also highly expressed in normal ovary and testis tissues. An identical copy of this gene is found on the same chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015].
