A few cases of colorectal and breast cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. A few cases of malignant melanomas, seminomas, ovarian and pancreatic cancers showed weak to moderate staining. Remaining malignant tissues were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RASA4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CAPRI, GAPL, KIAA0538
Description
RAS p21 protein activator 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the GAP1 family of GTPase-activating proteins that suppresses the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in response to Ca(2+). Stimuli that increase intracellular Ca(2+) levels result in the translocation of this protein to the plasma membrane, where it activates Ras GTPase activity. Consequently, Ras is converted from the active GTP-bound state to the inactive GDP-bound state and no longer activates downstream pathways that regulate gene expression, cell growth, and differentiation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
