Rare cases of colorectal, ovarian, endometrial, lung, renal, stomach, liver cancers and malignant glioma displayed moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity. Remaining malignant tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC5A10 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
SGLT5
Description
Solute carrier family 5 (sodium/sugar cotransporter), member 10 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the sodium/glucose transporter family. Members of this family are sodium-dependent transporters and can be divided into two subfamilies based on sequence homology, one that co-transports sugars and the second that transports molecules such as ascorbate, choline, iodide, lipoate, monocaroboxylates, and pantothenate. The protein encoded by this gene has the highest affinity for mannose and has been reported to be most highly expressed in the kidney. This protein may function as a kidney-specific, sodium-dependent mannose and fructose co-transporter. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
