Weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining in the majority of most cancer tissues. Thyroid cancers were strongly stained. Virtually no staining in cervical, skin and testicular cancers.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MRAP (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
B27, C21orf61, FALP
Description
Melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a melanocortin receptor-interacting protein. The encoded protein regulates trafficking and function of the melanocortin 2 receptor in the adrenal gland. The encoded protein can also modulate signaling of other melanocortin receptors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial glucocorticoid deficiency type 2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
