Few cases of duct carcinomas of breast, melanomas, ovarian, thyroid and endometrial cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Several cases of colorectal cancers displayed weak cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
Several liver, colorectal, breast cancers along with few melanomas, embryonal carcinoma, ovarian, endometrial and renal cancers exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic and/or nuclear/membranous immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were mostly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
FCER1A (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FCE1A
Description
Fc fragment of IgE, high affinity I, receptor for; alpha polypeptide (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The immunoglobulin epsilon receptor (IgE receptor) is the initiator of the allergic response. When two or more high-affinity IgE receptors are brought together by allergen-bound IgE molecules, mediators such as histamine that are responsible for allergy symptoms are released. This receptor is comprised of an alpha subunit, a beta subunit, and two gamma subunits. The protein encoded by this gene represents the alpha subunit. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
