Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity with additional membranous staining in several cases. Gliomas, melanomas, squamous cell carcinomas, endometrial and urothelial cancers were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ADAM33 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
C20orf153, dJ964F7.1, DKFZp434K0521
Description
ADAM metallopeptidase domain 33 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins 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. This protein is a type I transmembrane protein implicated in asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
