CTAG1A Gene Summary [Human]
The protein encoded by this gene is a tumor cell antigen found in various types of cancers, which makes it a good candidate for a cancer vaccine. This gene is also highly expressed in normal ovary and testis tissues. An identical copy of this gene is found on the same chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human CTAG1A often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Transcription factor Pcc1
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
