Anti-POTE, CT (ANKRD26-like Family B Member 3, Ankyrin Repeat Domain-containing Protein 21, Protein

The POTE protein contains seven ankyrin repeats between amino acids 140 and 380. Expression of POTE in prostate cancer and its undetectable expression in normal essential tissues make POTE a candidate for the immunotherapy of prostate cancer. The existence of a large number of closely related but rapidly diverging members, their location on multiple chromosomes and their limited expression pattern suggest an important role for the POTE gene family in reproductive processes. POTE is expressed in prostate, ovary, testis, placenta and prostate cancer cell lines. It localizes to basal and terminal prostate epithelial cells.
