A majority of breast, ovarian and thyroid cancer showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and/or membranous staining. A few cases of cervical, endometrial, lung, pancreatic and liver cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic staining. Remaining malignancies were generally negative.

Description
Adenylate cyclase 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the membrane-bound adenylyl cyclase enzymes. Adenylyl cyclases mediate G protein-coupled receptor signaling through the synthesis of the second messenger cAMP. Activity of the encoded protein is stimulated by the Gs alpha subunit of G protein-coupled receptors and is inhibited by protein kinase A, calcium and Gi alpha subunits. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with low birth weight and type 2 diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
