Moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity was observed in papillary adenocarcinomas of thyroid. A few cases of malignant gliomas, breast, ovarian, endometrial and skin cancers exhibited weak to moderate staining. Remaining malignant cells were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MRC2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CD280, CLEC13E, ENDO180, KIAA0709
Description
Mannose receptor, C type 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the mannose receptor family of proteins that contain a fibronectin type II domain and multiple C-type lectin-like domains. The encoded protein plays a role in extracellular matrix remodeling by mediating the internalization and lysosomal degradation of collagen ligands. Expression of this gene may play a role in the tumorigenesis and metastasis of several malignancies including breast cancer, gliomas and metastatic bone disease. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
