Most cancer tissues displayed moderate to strong nuclear positivity that in some cells was combined with cytoplasmic staining. Most cases of testicular cancers, cervical cancers, gliomas, lymphomas and melanomas were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ABCG4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
WHITE2
Description
ATP-binding cassette, sub-family G (WHITE), member 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is included in the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the White subfamily and is expressed predominantly in liver tissue. The function has not yet been determined but may involve cholesterol transport. Alternate splice variants have been described but their full length sequences have not been determined.
