SSX2IP gene encodes the protein SSX2IP which interacts with the cancer-testis antigen SSX2. It is thought that SSX2IP regulates the function of SSX2 in the testes and malignant cells. The rodent equivalent is known as afadin DIL domain-interacting protein (ADIP) and the chicken orthologue is called clock-controlled gene (LCG) (Breslin et al., 2007). DNA/RNA Note The SSX2IP gene is located on chromosome 1p22.
