A majority of cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and/or nuclear positivity with additional membranous positivity in several cases. Several cases of malignant lymphomas, skin and testicular cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ADGRG1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
GPR56, TM7LN4, TM7XN1
Description
Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor G1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family and regulates brain cortical patterning. The encoded protein binds specifically to transglutaminase 2, a component of tissue and tumor stroma implicated as an inhibitor of tumor progression. Mutations in this gene are associated with a brain malformation known as bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
