Moderate cytoplasmic positivity with a granular patter often accompanied with nucelolar positivity was observed in several cases of melanomas, liver, pancreatic, urotethelial, ovarian and colorectal cancers. Remaining cancer cells were in general weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CYSLTR1 (HGNC Symbol)

CysLT(1), CysLT1, CYSLT1R
Description
Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. The encoded protein is a receptor for cysteinyl leukotrienes, and is involved in mediating bronchoconstriction via activation of a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Activation of the encoded receptor results in contraction and proliferation of bronchial smooth muscle cells, eosinophil migration, and damage to the mucus layer in the lung. Upregulation of this gene is associated with asthma and dysregulation may also be implicated in cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
