Summary
Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a glycoprotein attached to the cell membrane. It has a predicted molecular weight of 66 kDa. GPC3 overexpression is found in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but not in healthy adult liver. Studies have shown GPC3 to be a reliable serological and immunohistochemical marker for HCC diagnosis, and a potential target for immunotherapies.

Background
Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with a variable number of heparan sulfate chains. Members of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS) contain a core protein anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol linkage. These proteins may play a role in the control of cell division and growth regulation. Deletion mutations in this gene are associated with Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome. [provided by RefSeq]
