Colorectal, breast, prostate, ovarian and renal cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic staining in several cases. A single case of lung cancer exhibited strong cytoplasmic staining. Malignant cells were in general negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
FCRL1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CD307a, FCRH1, IFGP1, IRTA5
Description
Fc receptor-like 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the immunoglobulin receptor superfamily and is one of several Fc receptor-like glycoproteins clustered on the long arm of chromosome 1. The encoded protein contains three extracellular C2-like immunoglobulin domains, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic domain with two immunoreceptor-tyrosine activation motifs. This protein may play a role in the regulation of cancer cell growth. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
