Tumour tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and occasional nuclear positivity. Strong immunoreactivity was seen in many cases of testicular cancers. Several cases of renal cancers along with few cases of prostate and stomach cancers were negative.
Tumour tissues exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity accompanied with nuclear staining in a few tumors. Several cases of testicular cancers showed strong cytoplasmic staining, whereas most prostate-, renal- and hepatocellular carcinomas were negative.

SIP1
Description
Gem (nuclear organelle) associated protein 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes one of the proteins found in the SMN complex, which consists of several gemin proteins and the protein known as the survival of motor neuron protein. The SMN complex is localized to a subnuclear compartment called gems (gemini of coiled bodies) and is required for assembly of spliceosomal snRNPs and for pre-mRNA splicing. This protein interacts directly with the survival of motor neuron protein and it is required for formation of the SMN complex. A knockout mouse targeting the mouse homolog of this gene exhibited disrupted snRNP assembly and motor neuron degeneration. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
