Most malignancies showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Several cases of endometrial cancer along with a few cases of malignant lymphomas, thyroid and ovarian cancers were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ABCA3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ABC-C, ABC3, EST111653, LBM180
Description
ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A (ABC1), member 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The membrane-associated 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 intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. The full transporter encoded by this gene may be involved in development of resistance to xenobiotics and engulfment during programmed cell death. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
