Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the Ras-assocation domain family (RASSF) of tumor suppressor proteins. This gene is essential for maintaining adherens junction function in epithelial cells and has a role in epithelial cell migration. It is a lung tumor suppressor gene candidate. A chromosomal translocation t(12;22)(p11.2;q13.3) leading to the fusion of this gene and the FBLN1 gene is found in a complex type of synpolydactyly. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

Staining summary

Normal tissues generally displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Respiratory epithelia, renal tubules, the gastrointestinal tract, parathyroid and cardiac myocytes exhibited strong positivity. The salivary gland and squamous epithelia of esophagus displayed additional strong membranous positivity. Lung, bile duct cells, lymphoid reaction center cells and glial cells were weakly stained or negative.
