A few colorectal and testis cancers showed moderate membranous positivity, while rare hepatocellular carcinomas displayed cytoplasmic staining. Neuropil of gliomas were positive. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
Strong secreted positivity was observed in several prostate cancers and few colorectal, breast, thyroid, and lung cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were essentially negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ADAM12 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MCMPMltna, MLTN
Description
ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that are structurally related to snake venom disintegrins and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. Expression of this gene has been used as a maternal serum marker for pre-natal development. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Shorter isoforms are secreted, while longer isoforms are membrane-bound form. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
