DOG-1
Use
DOG-1 was originally discovered in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) where it's predominantly on the plasma membrane. Because DOG-1 is rarely found in other soft tissue tumors, this marker is useful in the identification of GISTs, including platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha mutants that fail to express KIT antigen.
