This gene is a member of the MAGEC gene family. The members of this family are not expressed in normal tissues, except for testis, and are expressed in tumors of various histological types. The MAGEC genes are clustered on chromosome Xq26-q27. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],similarity:Contains 2 MAGE domains.,tissue specificity:Expressed in testis. Not expressed in other normal tissues, but is expressed in tumors of different histological origins.,
