MAGE-C1 ( English melanoma antigen C1 ), also Cancer / Testis Antigen 7 (CT7), is a human tumor antigen from the group of tumor testis antigens .

properties

MAGE-C1 is 1,142 amino acids long and has a mass of 123,643 Da . It is up to four serines phosphorylated , S63, S207, S382 and S1063. MAGE-C1 has anti- apoptotic properties. It binds to NY-ESO-1 . It is not found as a tumor antigen in healthy cells (except in immunoprivileged spermatocytes ), but is often expressed in tumors , e.g. B. multiple myeloma . There it is produced by malignant plasma cells . It is therefore a target antigen in the development of cancer vaccines and cancer immunotherapies with adoptive cell transfer .
