Cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining often with a granular pattern. Several cases of papillary adenocarcinomas of thyroid, duct carcinomas of breast, hepatocellular carcinomas and prostate cancers displayed strong positivity.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MAGT1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
DKFZp564K142, IAP, MRX95, OST3B
Description
Magnesium transporter 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a magnesium cation transporter protein that localizes to the cell membrane. This protein also associates with N-oligosaccharyl transferase and therefore may have a role in N-glycosylation. Mutations in this gene cause mental retardation X-linked type 95 (MRX95). This gene may have multiple in-frame translation initiation sites, one of which would encode a shorter protein with an N-terminus containing a signal peptide at amino acids 1-29.
