Single case of glioma displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Rare cases of liver cancer displayed moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity. Remaining cancer tissues along with stromal cells were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CNTNAP3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CASPR3, CNTNAP3A, FLJ14195, KIAA1714
Description
Contactin associated protein-like 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the NCP family of cell-recognition molecules. This family represents a distinct subgroup of the neurexins. NCP proteins mediate neuron-glial interactions in vertebrates and glial-glial contact in invertebrates. The protein encoded by this gene may play a role in cell recognition within the nervous system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described but their biological nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
