Several lung cancers along with rare cases of pancreatic and liver cancers displayed moderate to strong positivity. Remaining malignant cells were in general weakly stained.
Cases of colorectal, endometrial, lung, liver and pancreatic carcinomas showed distinct cytoplasmic staining. Remaining malignant cells were generally negative.
This gene encodes an RGD-containing protein that binds to type I, II and IV collagens. The RGD motif is found in many extracellular matrix proteins modulating cell adhesion and serves as a ligand recognition sequence for several integrins. This protein plays a role in cell-collagen interactions and may be involved in endochondrial bone formation in cartilage. The protein is induced by transforming growth factor-beta and acts to inhibit cell adhesion. Mutations in this gene are associated with multiple types of corneal dystrophy.
