Malignant tissues generally displayed moderate cytoplasmic staining. Most gliomas, testicular and renal cancers and many cases of prostate cancers were negative. In liver cancers, additional nucleolar staining was observed.
A majority of malignancies showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and/or membranous staining. Several malignant gliomas, prostate and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.
This gene encodes one of the SERCA Ca(2+)-ATPases, which are intracellular pumps located in the sarcoplasmic or endoplasmic reticula of muscle cells. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the translocation of calcium from the cytosol to the sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen, and is involved in calcium sequestration associated with muscular excitation and contraction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
