A few cases of low grade prostatic carcinomas showed strong cytoplasmic positivity but the staining was either weak or negative in high grade carcinomas and remaining cancers.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
COL12A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
COL12A1L
Description
Collagen, type XII, alpha 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes the alpha chain of type XII collagen, a member of the FACIT (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices) collagen family. Type XII collagen is a homotrimer found in association with type I collagen, an association that is thought to modify the interactions between collagen I fibrils and the surrounding matrix. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
