Weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in cancer tissues. Liver cancers displayed moderate to strong positivity. Breast cancers, squamous cell carcinomas, several lymphomas and pancreatic cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
GBA2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
AD035, DKFZp762K054, KIAA1605, SPG46
Description
Glucosidase, beta (bile acid) 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a microsomal beta-glucosidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of bile acid 3-O-glucosides as endogenous compounds. Studies to determine subcellular localization of this protein in the liver indicated that the enzyme was mainly enriched in the microsomal fraction where it appeared to be confined to the endoplasmic reticulum. This putative transmembrane protein is thought to play a role in carbohydrate transport and metabolism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
