Disease relevance of GCET2

 

High impact information on GCET2

 

Biological context of GCET2

 

Anatomical context of GCET2

  • Two newly characterized germinal center B-cell-associated genes, GCET1 and GCET2, have differential expression in normal and neoplastic B cells [4].
  • Although GCET2 is also a useful marker for normal and neoplastic GC B cells, it has a wider range of expression including immature B and T cells [4].
  • The HGAL gene is the human homolog of M17, a mouse gene expressed specifically in normal germinal center (GC) B cells [3].
 

Regulatory relationships of GCET2

 

Other interactions of GCET2

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of GCET2

  • The restricted expression and GC specificity of HGAL protein suggest that it may have an important role in the diagnosis of specific lymphomas, and, potentially in the identification of subtypes associated with different prognoses [3].
