Cancer cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Several colorectal and a few ovarian cancers exhibited strong positivity. Lymphomas along with most testicular and renal cancers were negative.
Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate, granular cytoplasmic staining. Lymphomas, stomach and urothelial cancers were mostly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
STARD13 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ARHGAP37, DLC2, GT650, LINC00464
Description
StAR-related lipid transfer (START) domain containing 13 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein which contains an N-terminal sterile alpha motif (SAM) for protein-protein interactions, followed by an ATP/GTP-binding motif, a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) domain, and a C-terminal STAR-related lipid transfer (START) domain. It may be involved in regulation of cytoskeletal reorganization, cell proliferation, and cell motility, and acts as a tumor suppressor in hepatoma cells. The gene is located in a region of chromosome 13 that is associated with loss of heterozygosity in hepatocellular carcinomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
