A novel gene (designated 158P1D7) and ist encoded protein are described. Whi le 158P1D7 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult issue, it is aberrantly expressed in multiple cancers including set forth in Table 1. Consequently, 158P1D7 provides a diagnostic and/or therapeutic target for cancers. The 158P1D7 gene or fragment thereof, or its encoded protein or a fragment thereof, can be used to elicit an immune response. |
