Malignant tissues were mainly negative. Only a few cases of gliomas exhibited moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity in a subset of cells.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NCS1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FREQ, NCS-1
Description
Neuronal calcium sensor 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the neuronal calcium sensor gene family, which encode calcium-binding proteins expressed predominantly in neurons. The protein encoded by this gene regulates G protein-coupled receptor phosphorylation in a calcium-dependent manner and can substitute for calmodulin. The protein is associated with secretory granules and modulates synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
