Most malignant cells were negative. A few cases of skin, pancreatic and gastric cancers exhibited moderate cytoplasmic and/or nuclear immunoreactivity.
Thyroid cancers and several cases of ovarian, endometrial and liver cancers exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. The remaining tumors were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ABCG1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ABC8
Description
ATP-binding cassette, sub-family G (WHITE), member 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the White subfamily. It is involved in macrophage cholesterol and phospholipids transport, and may regulate cellular lipid homeostasis in other cell types. Six alternative splice variants have been identified.
