Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with additional nuclear or membranous staining in several cases. Few colorectal cancers were strongly stained.
A majority of cancer cells displayed moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear immunoreactivity. Strong positivity was observed in several cases of ovarian, endometrial, testicular and liver cancers. Gliomas and breast cancer were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PSMA4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HC9, HsT17706
Description
Proteasome subunit alpha 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered ring-shaped 20S core structure. The core structure is composed of 4 rings of 28 non-identical subunits; 2 rings are composed of 7 alpha subunits and 2 rings are composed of 7 beta subunits. Proteasomes are distributed throughout eukaryotic cells at a high concentration and cleave peptides in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent process in a non-lysosomal pathway. An essential function of a modified proteasome, the immunoproteasome, is the processing of class I MHC peptides. This gene encodes a member of the peptidase T1A family, that is a 20S core alpha subunit. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
