A few cases of melanomas and testicular cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity. Moderate membranous staining was observed in renal cancer. Remaining malignant cells were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
FLVCR2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
C14orf58, FLJ20371, MFSD7C
Description
Feline leukemia virus subgroup C cellular receptor family, member 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the major facilitator superfamily. The encoded transmembrane protein is a calcium transporter. Unlike the related protein feline leukemia virus subgroup C receptor 1, the protein encoded by this locus does not bind to feline leukemia virus subgroup C envelope protein. The encoded protein may play a role in development of brain vascular endothelial cells, as mutations at this locus have been associated with proliferative vasculopathy and hydranencephaly-hydrocephaly syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
