Recombinant Human Receptor-binding cancer antigen expressed on SiSo cells (EBAG9), Truncated

Uniprot Id

O00559

Target Species

Human

Target Name

EBAG9

Target Full Name

Receptor-binding cancer antigen expressed on SiSo cells

Target Function

May participate in suppression of cell proliferation and induces apoptotic cell death through activation of interleukin-1-beta converting enzyme (ICE)-like proteases.

Target Subcellular Location

Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein. Note=According to PubMed:10426319, it also exists as a soluble form which has the same biological activities. The existence of such soluble form is however uncertain.

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed in ovary, testis, prostate, thymus, muscle and heart, but not in small intestine, colon, lymph nodes, or peripherical blood lymphocytes. The protein is not detected in any of the above organs.

Target Research Area

Apoptosis

Target Background

This gene was identified as an estrogen-responsive gene. Regulation of transcription by estrogen is mediated by estrogen receptor, which binds to the estrogen-responsive element found in the 5'-flanking region of this gene. The encoded protein is a tumor-associated antigen that is expressed at high frequency in a variety of cancers. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 10.
