A majority of malignant cells displayed moderate immunoreactivity which often had a granular pattern. Papillary adenocarcinomas of thyroid along with cases of hepatocellular carcinomas and prostate cancers were strongly stained. Most renal cancers as well as cases of squamous cell carcinomas, urothelial and pancreatic cancers were negative.
Branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase is a multienzyme complex associated with the inner membrane of mitochondria, and functions in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids. The complex consists of multiple copies of 3 components: branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), lipoamide acyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). This gene encodes the E1 beta subunit, and mutations therein have been associated with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), type 1B, a disease characterized by a maple syrup odor to the urine in addition to mental and physical retardation, and feeding problems. Alternative splicing at this locus results in transcript variants with different 3' non-coding regions, but encoding the same isoform. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
