The majority of malignant cells displayed weak cytoplasmic staining. Skin cancers and squamous cell carcinomas in cervical cancers as well as head and neck cancers were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC17A3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
NPT4
Description
Solute carrier family 17 (organic anion transporter), member 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a voltage-driven transporter that excretes intracellular urate and organic anions from the blood into renal tubule cells. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The longer isoform is a plasma membrane protein with transporter activity while the shorter isoform localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
