Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with a granular pattern. Several cases of testicular, endometrial and cervical cancers as well as occasional cases of most cancers showed strong stained cases. Renal cancers were negative.
Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Several squamous cell carcinomas of cervix and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
GOLGA3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
GCP170, golgin-160, MEA-2
Description
Golgin A3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The Golgi apparatus, which participates in glycosylation and transport of proteins and lipids in the secretory pathway, consists of a series of stacked cisternae (flattened membrane sacs). Interactions between the Golgi and microtubules are thought to be important for the reorganization of the Golgi after it fragments during mitosis. This gene encodes a member of the golgin family of proteins which are localized to the Golgi. Its encoded protein has been postulated to play a role in nuclear transport and Golgi apparatus localization. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
