Additional info: Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a membrane-bound heparin sulfate proteoglycan known to participate in cell growth and differentiation. GPC3 expression has been observed in the majority of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), but is rarely expressed in non-neoplastic hepatic tissue, making it a useful marker for HCC. Additionally, this marker is expressed in many yolk sac tumors.
