Most malignant cells were weakly stained or negative. A few cervical and liver cancers as well as malignant melanomas exhibited moderate cytoplasmic positivity.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC22A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
OCT1
Description
Solute carrier family 22 (organic cation transporter), member 1 (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. Two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene, but only the longer variant encodes a functional transporter. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
