Several cases of colorectal, ovarian, pancreatic and liver cancers showed distinct membranous positivity. The remaining cancer tissues were in general negative.
Colorectal, gastric, renal, liver and pancreatic cancers displayed moderate to strong luminal staining. Remaining cancer cells were generally negative.
A small subset of renal and liver cancers showed focal positivity along luminal membranes.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CDHR5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ20219, MU-PCDH, MUCDHL, MUPCDH
Description
Cadherin-related family member 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a novel mucin-like gene that is a member of the cadherin superfamily. While encoding nonpolymorphic tandem repeats rich in proline, serine and threonine similar to mucin proteins, the gene also contains sequence encoding calcium-binding motifs found in all cadherins. The role of the hybrid extracellular region and the specific function of this protein have not yet been determined. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
