Weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining was observed in most cancer cells. Skin and renal cancers were mainly negative. A few urothelial cancers were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC52A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ10060, GPCR42, GPR172B, hRFT1, PAR2, RFVT1
Description
Solute carrier family 52 (riboflavin transporter), member 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Biological redox reactions require electron donors and acceptor. Vitamin B2 is the source for the flavin in flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) which are common redox reagents. This gene encodes a member of the riboflavin (vitamin B2) transporter family. Haploinsufficiency of this protein can cause maternal riboflavin deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
