Gliomas, lymphomas, prostate, breast, ovarian, endometrial, lung, cervical, urothelial and thyroid cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity with a granular pattern. Remaining cancer tissues were in general weakly stained or negative.
Most gliomas and endometrial cancers along with several cases of breast, prostate, ovarian, urotehlial and lung cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
TRPM5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
LTRPC5, MTR1
Description
Transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) protein family, which is a diverse group of proteins with structural features typical of ion channels. This protein plays an important role in taste transduction, and has characteristics of a calcium-activated, non-selective cation channel that carries Na+, K+, and Cs+ ions equally well, but not Ca(2+) ions. It is activated by lower concentrations of intracellular Ca(2+), and inhibited by higher concentrations. It is also a highly temperature-sensitive, heat activated channel showing a steep increase of inward currents at temperatures between 15 and 35 degrees Celsius. This gene is located within the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome critical region-1 on chromosome 11p15.5, and has been shown to be imprinted, with exclusive expression from the paternal allele.
