Description
Product Characteristics:
MAGEF1 is a member of the MAGE (melanoma antigen gene) superfamily.Most known members of the MAGE superfamily are expressed in tumors, testis and fetal tissues, which has been described as a cancer/testis or "CT" expression pattern. MAGEF1, however, is expressed in all adult and fetal tissues tested, as well as in many tumor types including ovarian, breast, cervical, melanoma and leukemia. The coding region of MAGE-F1 is contained within a single exon and includes a microsatellite repeat. Several MAGE genes are ubiquitously expressed suggesting a role for MAGE encoded proteins in normal cell physiology.
Subcellular location: Secreted, Extracellular matrix
Synonyms: MAGE F1 antigen, MAGEF 1, Melanoma antigen family F, 1, Melanoma associated antigen F1, MGC19617, MAGF1_HUMAN.
Target Information: This intronless gene encodes a member of the MAGE superfamily. It is ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues and in tumor cells. This gene includes a microsatellite repeat in the coding region
