GAGE2A belongs to a multigene family expressed in a large variety of tumors whereas in normal tissues, expression is restricted to germ cells. These genes organized in clustered repeats, have a high degree of predicted sequence identity, but differ by scattered single nucleotide substitution. Their sequences contain either the antigenic peptide YYWPRPRRY or YRPRPRRY which is recognized by cytotoxic T-cells. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-116 of human GAGE2A, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
