Cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Cases of melanomas, thyroid, prostate, ovarian, urothelial and liver cancers were strongly positive. A majority of lymphomas, skin, breast, cervical and renal cancers were negative.
Most cancer cells were weakly stained. Gliomas, carcinoids, thyroid, pancreatic and stomach cancers displayed cases with moderate positivity.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC4A4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
hhNMC, HNBC1, NBC1, NBC2, pNBC, SLC4A5
Description
Solute carrier family 4 (sodium bicarbonate cotransporter), member 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a sodium bicarbonate cotransporter (NBC) involved in the regulation of bicarbonate secretion and absorption and intracellular pH. Mutations in this gene are associated with proximal renal tubular acidosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
