Few cases of cervical cancer and melanoma showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Fraction of tumor cells in few cases of colorectal, pancreas and endometrial cancers displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and membranous positivity while few cases of glioma showed weak moderate nuclear staining. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
A single case each of papillary adenocarcinoma of thyroid and ovarian cancer showed weak cytoplasmic staining. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MCOLN3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ11006, TRP-ML3, TRPML3
Description
Mucolipin 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes one of members of the mucolipin cation channel proteins. Mutation studies of the highly similar protein in mice have shown that the protein is found in cochlea hair cells, and mutant mice show early-onset hearing loss and balance problems. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
