Moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity and additional nuclear immunoreactivity was observed in a majority of cancer tissues. Several cases of hepatocellular carcinomas, renal cancers along with a few cases of gliomas, lymphomas and lung cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Gem (nuclear organelle) associated protein 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a WD repeat protein that is a component of the survival of motor neurons (SMN) complex. The SMN complex plays a critical role in mRNA splicing through the assembly of spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), and may also mediate the assembly and transport of other classes of ribonucleoproteins. The encoded protein is the snRNA-binding component of the SMN complex. Dysregulation of this gene may play a role in alternative mRNA splicing and tumor cell motility. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
