Several cases of gliomas showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. A single case each of malignant carcinoid, renal and urothelial cancers displayed strong positivity. Few cases of
lymphomas, colorectal, endometrial, breast, prostate, stomach and testis cancers displayed moderate positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC9A7 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
NHE7
Description
Solute carrier family 9, subfamily A (NHE7, cation proton antiporter 7), member 7 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a sodium and potassium/ proton antiporter that is a member of the solute carrier family 9 protein family. The encoded protein is primarily localized to the trans-Golgi network and is involved in maintaining pH homeostasis in organelles along the secretory and endocytic pathways. This protein may enhance cell growth of certain breast tumors. This gene is part of a gene cluster on chromosome Xp11.23. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 12. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
