Colorectal, breast, prostate stomach and pancreatic cancers showed strong cytoplasmic and membranous staining as well as a few cases of liver, urothelial, and ovarian cancers. A majority of the remaining malignant cells were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC20A2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
Glvr-2, GLVR2, MLVAR, PiT-2
Description
Solute carrier family 20 (phosphate transporter), member 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the inorganic phosphate transporter family. The encoded protein is a type 3 sodium-dependent phosphate symporter that plays an important role in phosphate homeostasis by mediating cellular phosphate uptake. The encoded protein also confers susceptibility to viral infection as a gamma-retroviral receptor. Mutations in this gene may play a role in familial idiopathic basal ganglia calcification. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
