Most cancer tissues displayed moderate cytoplasmic and occasional nuclear positivity. Several ovarian cancers and a few testicular cancers displayed strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. A majority of breast, prostate, lung and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
GAB2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
KIAA0571
Description
GRB2-associated binding protein 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the GRB2-associated binding protein (GAB) gene family. These proteins contain pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, and bind SHP2 tyrosine phosphatase and GRB2 adapter protein. They act as adapters for transmitting various signals in response to stimuli through cytokine and growth factor receptors, and T- and B-cell antigen receptors. The protein encoded by this gene is the principal activator of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase in response to activation of the high affinity IgE receptor. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
