Most of the cancer tissues showed moderate cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. Colorectal cancer and several cases of ovarian, endometrial, skin and testicular cancers were strongly stained. Many lymphomas and gliomas were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ADGRG4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
GPR112, PGR17, RP1-299I16
Description
Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor G4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a G-protein coupled receptor belonging to a large family of diverse integral membrane proteins that participate in various physiological functions. Members of this superfamily are characterized by a signature 7-transmembrane domain motif. The ligand for this family member is unknown, and it is therefore an orphan receptor. This receptor is known to be expressed in normal enterochromaffin cells and in gastrointestinal neuroendocrine carcinoma cells, and it is therefore considered to be a novel biomarker or target for immunotherapy.
