Most breast cancers, hepatocellular carcinomas and gliomas as well as several malignant melanomas and renal cancers exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were mainly negative.
A fraction of tumor cells in several renal cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. A few gliomas and breast cancers were weakly stained. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 13 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins containing several distinct regions, including a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. The enzyme encoded by this gene specifically cleaves von Willebrand Factor (vWF). Defects in this gene are associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
