Colorectal cancers exhibited weak to moderate luminal membranous positivity. Several hepatocellular carcinomas showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
Many colorectal cancers along with few pancreatic, liver and breast cancers exhibited weak to moderate membranous immunoreactivity. Other cancer tissues were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC5A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
D22S675, NAGT, SGLT1
Description
Solute carrier family 5 (sodium/glucose cotransporter), member 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT) family. The encoded integral membrane protein is the primary mediator of dietary glucose and galactose uptake from the intestinal lumen. Mutations in this gene have been associated with glucose-galactose malabsorption. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
