A majority of tumour cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and membranous positivity.
A few cases of colorectal cancers were strongly stained. Several renal cancers were negative.
Moderate to strong membranous and/or cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in most cancer tissues. Hepatocellular carcinomas and most lymphomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
LIMA1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
EPLIN
Description
LIM domain and actin binding 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a cytoskeleton-associated protein that inhibits actin filament depolymerization and cross-links filaments in bundles. It is downregulated in some cancer cell lines. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene, and expression of some of the variants maybe independently regulated.
