Most cancer tissues displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining with additional membranous positivity in several cases. Malignant gliomas, lymphomas and melanomas as well as skin cancers were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CYSLTR2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CysLT(2), CYSLT2R
Description
Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The cysteinyl leukotrienes LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4 are important mediators of human bronchial asthma. Pharmacologic studies have determined that cysteinyl leukotrienes activate at least 2 receptors, the protein encoded by this gene and CYSLTR1. This encoded receptor is a member of the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors. It seems to play a major role in endocrine and cardiovascular systems. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
