Definition / general
- Also called prostate cancer antimetastasis gene KAI1, kangai 1 (Chinese for anticancer)
- Metastasis suppressor gene
- Expression correlates with p53 expression
- Reduced expression of CD82 is associated with metastases / poor prognosis in carcinomas of bladder (Int J Urol 2004;11:74), breast (Am J Pathol 1998;153:973, J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2005;131:191), colon (World J Gastroenterol 2004;10:2245), endometrium (Clin Cancer Res 2003;9:1393), larynx (Lin Chuang Er Bi Yan Hou Ke Za Zhi 2005;19:1065), oral cavity (Clin Cancer Res 2002;8:828) and thyroid (Int J Mol Med 2004;14:517, Pathol Res Pract 2003;199:79)
- Expression reduces function of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (J Biol Chem 2005;280:14811)
- References: OMIM #600623
Uses by pathologists
