Kidney associated antigen 1, also known as KAAG1, is expressed in testis and kidney, and, at lower levels, in urinary bladder and liver. And it is expressed by a high proportion of tumors of various histologic origin, including melanomas, sarcomas and colorectal carcinomas. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-84 from human KAAG1, fused to His-tag at N-terminus expressed in E.coli.
