Melanoma-associated antigen C2 is aprotein that in humans is encoded by theMAGEC2 gene .[ 3] [ 4]
This gene is related to members of theMAGEC gene family. It is not expressed in normal tissues, except for testis, and is expressed in tumors of various histological types. This gene and the MAGEC genes are clustered on chromosome Xq26-q27.[ 4]
