Most cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Renal cancers, testicular cancers, lymphomas, melanomas and gliomas were generally negative.
Several gliomas exhibited strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC22A2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
OCT2
Description
Solute carrier family 22 (organic cation transporter), member 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Polyspecific organic cation transporters in the liver, kidney, intestine, and other organs are critical for elimination of many endogenous small organic cations as well as a wide array of drugs and environmental toxins. This gene is one of three similar cation transporter genes located in a cluster on chromosome 6. The encoded protein contains twelve putative transmembrane domains and is a plasma integral membrane protein. It is found primarily in the kidney, where it may mediate the first step in cation reabsorption. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
