 | | The A34 gene is approximately 34 kb in length, equivalent to nucleotides 25298366 — 25332446 of the chromosome X genomic contiguous sequence, NT 011651.14. |
 | | The novel antigen, A34, is 32% identical to GPA33 and is expressed in normal testis, normal stomach and in esophageal, gastric and ovarian cancer. |
 | | A34 shares certain characteristics, such as cancer expression and mapping to chromosome X, with members of the cancer/testis (CT) antigen family, a group of immunogenic proteins whose expression is restricted to gametogenic tissue and cancer (28). |
