    • CATEGORY antigen
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
    basic FUNCTION
  • recognized on melanoma by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes
  • might have an important role in the development and progression of intestinal type of stomach cancer and the detection of GAGE mRNA may be eligible to the panel of molecular markers for aggressive behavior (Kong 2004)
  • having a function in germ cells unrelated to any specific developmental stage (Gjerstorff 2007)
  • can elicit both cellular and humoral immune responses, indicating that they are appropriate targets for cancer immunotherapy (Gjerstorff 2008)
