A rare case of stomach cancer displayed strong nuclear staining. Fractions of tumor cells in a few prostate cancers and malignant carcinoids were distinctly stained. Remaining malignant cells were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC7A14 (HGNC Symbol)

KIAA1613, PPP1R142
Description
Solute carrier family 7, member 14 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is predicted to encode a glycosylated, cationic amino acid transporter protein with 14 transmembrane domains. This gene is primarily expressed in skin fibroblasts, neural tissue, and primary endothelial cells and its protein is predicted to mediate lysosomal uptake of cationic amino acids. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. In mice, this gene is expressed in the photoreceptor layer of the retina where its expression increases over the course of retinal development and persists in the mature retina.
