2022年2月16日 · Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a membrane-associated proteoglycan that is specifically up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) although rarely or not expressed in normal liver tissues, making it a perfect diagnostic and treatment target for HCC.

Glypican-3, a cell-surface glycoproteins in which heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains are covalently linked to a protein core, is overexpressed in HCC tissues but not in the healthy adult liver. Thus, Glypican-3 is becoming a promising candidate for liver cancer diagnosis and immunotherapy.

Glypican-3 (GPC3), a member of the glypican family that attaches to the cell surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor, is overexpressed in HCC cases and is elevated in the serum of a large proportion of patients with HCC. GPC3 expression contributes to …

2024年12月25日 · GPC3 (Glypican 3) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with GPC3 include Simpson-Golabi-Behmel Syndrome, Type 1 and Wilms Tumor 1. Among its related pathways are Chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate metabolism and …

The GPC3 gene provides instructions for making a protein called glypican 3. This protein is one of several glypicans in humans, each of which consists of a core protein attached to long sugar molecules called heparan sulfate chains.

Glypican-3 (GPC3), an oncofetal proteoglycan anchored to the cell membrane, is normally detected in the fetal liver but not in the healthy adult liver. However, in HCC patients, GPC3 is overexpressed at both the gene and protein levels, and its expression predicts a poor prognosis.

2024年1月24日 · GPC3, also known as DGSX, GTR2-2, MXR7, OCI-5, is a member of the heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycan family encoded by the GPC3 gene. The GPC3 gene is located on chromosome Xq26, and its encoded protein consists of a core protein with 580 amino acids and two HS chains located at the C-terminus.

2024年4月1日 · Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a membrane-associated glycoprotein that is significantly upregulated in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) with minimal to no expression in normal tissues. The differential expression of GPC3 between tumor and normal tissues provides an opportunity for targeted radiopharmaceutical …

GPC3 is a helpful ancillary diagnostic marker for pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasm; GPC3 might be a valuable marker closely related with prognosis and post-operative metastasis/recurrence in hepatocellular cancer patients. Results show there was no correlation between GPC3 levels and prognostic parameters in hepatocellular carcinoma.

2017年2月16日 · Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a member of the glypicans family that anchors to the cell surface through glycosylated phosphatidyl inositol. GPC3 protein is closely associated with the body’s growth and development through a variety of cytokines. GPC3 mutation leads to Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) .
