Skin cancer, several urothelial cancers and a few lung cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity often combined with membranous staining. Cervical cancers along with several colorectal, gastric, pancreatic and liver cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic and/or membranous immunoreactivity with additional nucelar membranous staining in several cases.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NRP2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
VEGF165R2
Description
Neuropilin 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the neuropilin family of receptor proteins. The encoded transmembrane protein binds to SEMA3C protein {sema domain, immunoglobulin domain (Ig), short basic domain, secreted, (semaphorin) 3C} and SEMA3F protein {sema domain, immunoglobulin domain (Ig), short basic domain, secreted, (semaphorin) 3F}, and interacts with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This protein may play a role in cardiovascular development, axon guidance, and tumorigenesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
