Most malignant cells displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Malignant gliomas as well as a few cases of malignant melanomas, hepatocellular carcinomas and skin cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PPEF1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
PPEF, PPP7CA
Description
Protein phosphatase, EF-hand calcium binding domain 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein phosphatase with EF-hand motif family. The protein contains a protein phosphatase catalytic domain, and at least two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs in its C terminus. Although its substrate(s) is unknown, the encoded protein has been suggested to play a role in specific sensory neuron function and/or development. This gene shares high sequence similarity with the Drosophila retinal degeneration C (rdgC) gene. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants, each encoding a distinct isoform, have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
