Specificity

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a glycosylphospatidyl inositol-anchored membrane protein, which may also be found in a secreted form. Anti-GPC3 has been identified as a useful tumor marker for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatoblastoma, melanoma, testicular germ cell tumors, and Wilm s tumor. In patients with HCC, GPC3 is overexpressed in neoplastic liver tissue and elevated in serum, but is undetectable in normal liver, benign liver, and the serum of healthy donors. GPC3 expression is also found to be higher in HCC liver tissue than in cirrhotic liver or liver with focal lesions such as dysplastic nodules and areas of hepatic adenoma (HA) with malignant transformation. In the context of testicular germ cell tumors, GPC3 expression is up regulated in certain histologic subtypes, specifically yolk sac tumors and choriocarcinoma. A high level of GPC3 expression is also found in some types of embryonal tumors, such as Wilm s tumor and hepatoblastoma, with a low or undetectable expression in normal adjacent tissue. In patients with thyroid cancer, expression of GPC3 is dramatically enhanced in certain types of cancers: 100% in follicular carcinoma and 70% in papillary carcinoma. Expression of GPC3 in follicular carcinoma is significantly higher than that of follicular adenoma. In contrast, GPC3 is not expressed in anaplastic carcinoma.

Background: Glypican 3

The Glypican 3 (GPC3) gene encodes for a member of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS). Two isoforms of the protein exist, isoform 1 at a length of 580 amino acids long and 65 kDA while isoform 2 is 526 amino acids long at 59 kDA. The protein encoded by GPC3 is thought to prevent the dipeptidyl peptidase activity of DPP4 and may participate in the suppression and regulation of growth in the predominately mesodermal tissues and organs. The GPC3 gene participates in the Wnt signaling pathway, metabolism, and visual phototransduction through interactions with genes FGF2, WNT3A, WNT7B, BCAN, and BGN. GPC3 has been researched in various diseases such as paine syndrome, horner's sundrome, liver cirrhosis, simpson-golabi-behmel syndrome, germ cell tumors, wilms tumors, complex regional pain syndrome, and hepatocellulcar carcinoma.
