Endometrial and thyroid cancers as well as malignant glioma and malignant melanoma displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Among the remaining malignancies there was a a variation in intensity; several cases of both weak, moderate or negative cases was observed.
Gliomas and melanomas which displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity in most of the cases. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SORT1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
Gp95, NT3
Description
Sortilin 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the VPS10-related sortilin family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed by furin to generate the mature receptor. This receptor plays a role in the trafficking of different proteins to either the cell surface, or subcellular compartments such as lysosomes and endosomes. Expression levels of this gene may influence the risk of myocardial infarction in human patients. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
