Malignant tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with occasional membranous staining. Most cases of prostate cancers, several cases of endometrial cancers and papillary adenocarcinomas of thyroid along with a few cases of colorectal, breast and gastric cancers showed strong staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
HTR4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
5-HT4
Description
5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 4, G protein-coupled (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the family of serotonin receptors, which are G protein coupled receptors that stimulate cAMP production in response to serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine). The gene product is a glycosylated transmembrane protein that functions in both the peripheral and central nervous system to modulate the release of various neurotransmitters. Multiple transcript variants encoding proteins with distinct C-terminal sequences have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
