HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: BAGE3
Cytogenetic location: 21p11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38) : 21:7,000,001-10,900,000
Using PCR primers based on BAGE1 (BAGE; 605167), Ruault et al. (2002) amplified BAGE3 from human testis and melanoma cDNA libraries. The deduced protein contains 109 amino acids.
Hartz (2017) mapped the BAGE3 gene to chromosome 21p11.2 based on an alignment of the BAGE3 sequence (GenBank AF339514) with the genomic sequence (GRCh38).
