GAGE2A, 1-116aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

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. Recombinant human GAGE2A protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
