Cancer cells showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity, accompanied with nuclear staining in some cases. A few cases of gliomas showed strong nuclear immunoreactivity.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ROBO1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
DUTT1, FLJ21882, SAX3
Description
Roundabout guidance receptor 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Bilateral symmetric nervous systems have special midline structures that establish a partition between the two mirror image halves. Some axons project toward and across the midline in response to long-range chemoattractants emanating from the midline. The product of this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily and encodes an integral membrane protein that functions in axon guidance and neuronal precursor cell migration. This receptor is activated by SLIT-family proteins, resulting in a repulsive effect on glioma cell guidance in the developing brain. A related gene is located at an adjacent region on chromosome 3. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
