Protein attributes

Sequence length	109 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Unknown. Candidate gene encoding tumor antigens.
Subcellular location	SecretedPotential.
Tissue specificity	Not expressed in normal tissues except in testis. Expressed in melanoma, bladder and lung carcinomas.
Miscellaneous	The ancestral BAGE gene was generated by juxtacentromeric reshuffling of the MLL3 gene. The BAGE family was expanded by juxtacentromeric movement and/or acrocentric exchanges. BAGE family is composed of expressed genes that map to the juxtacentromeric regions of chromosomes 13 and 21 and of unexpressed gene fragments that scattered in the juxtacentromeric regions of several chromosomes, including chromosomes 9, 13, 18 and 21.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the BAGE family.
