About PSG8

Cytogenetic location: 19q13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:42,752,686-42,765,678 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 630 orthologues and 24 paralogues. Restricted expression toward placenta (RPKM 46.5).

Summary

The human pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are a group of molecules that are mainly produced by the placental syncytiotrophoblasts during pregnancy. PSGs comprise a subgroup of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. For additional general information about the PSG gene family, see PSG1 (MIM 176390).[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2009]
