Description
Background
SERCA2(SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM Ca(2+)-ATPase 2), also called ATP2A2, ATP2B, encodes one of the SERCA Ca(2+)-ATPases, which are intracellular pumps located in the sarcoplasmic or endoplasmic reticula of muscle cells. They are closely related to the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases, or PMCAs. SERCA2 belongs to the large family of P-type cation pumps that couple ATP hydrolysis with cation transport across membranes. The SERCA2 gene is mapped on 12q24.11. SERCA2 was expressed in all specimens, with pronounced expression in the subnuclear aspect of basal epidermal keratinocytes. There was variable suprabasal expression.SERCA2 expression was also observed in the infundibulum and outer root sheath of hair follicles; germinative and mature cells of sebaceous glands; secretory coil and duct of eccrine glands; apocrine gland cells; and arrector pili muscle. In Darier disease skin, strong SERCA2 positivity was detected in the basal, suprabasal, and acantholytic lesional cells. Perilesional Darier disease skin was comparable to normal skin.
