Most cancers showed moderate to strong granular cytoplasmic positivity with additional nuclear membranous staining in several cases. Most gliomas, lymphomas and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC35A2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
UGALT, UGAT, UGT, UGT1, UGT2, UGTL
Description
Solute carrier family 35 (UDP-galactose transporter), member A2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the nucleotide-sugar transporter family. The encoded protein is a multi-pass membrane protein. It transports UDP-galactose from the cytosol into Golgi vesicles, where it serves as a glycosyl donor for the generation of glycans. Mutations in this gene cause congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIm (CDG2M). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
