Staining summary

Liver, stomach, prostate, breast and colorectal cancers displayed moderate to strong staining of cytoplasm and cellmembranes. Gliomas, lymphomas, melanomas and testicular tumors were negative. The remaining malignant tissues generally displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity.

GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

SLC6A6 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

TAUT

Description

Solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 6 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is a member of a family of sodium and chloride-ion dependent transporters. The encoded protein transports taurine and beta-alanine. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 21. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
