Cancer cells displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Additional membranous staining was observed in colorectal, pancreatic, urothelial, endometrial and stomach cancers.
Cancer cells generally showed weak to moderate immunoreactivity. Cases of colorectal and prostate cancers displayed strong immunoreactivity. Several gliomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ADCY4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
AC4
Description
Adenylate cyclase 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the family of adenylate cyclases, which are membrane-associated enzymes that catalyze the formation of the secondary messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Mouse studies show that adenylate cyclase 4, along with adenylate cyclases 2 and 3, is expressed in olfactory cilia, suggesting that several different adenylate cyclases may couple to olfactory receptors and that there may be multiple receptor-mediated mechanisms for the generation of cAMP signals. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
