Most of the cancer tissues displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity in a granular pattern. Several squamous cell carcinomas were negative or weakly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
TRPM7 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CHAK1, LTRPC7, TRP-PLIK
Description
Transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 7 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is both an ion channel and a serine/threonine protein kinase. The kinase activity is essential for the ion channel function, which serves to increase intracellular calcium levels and to help regulate magnesium ion homeostasis. Defects in this gene are a cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism/dementia complex of Guam. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
