Carcinoids showed strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Strong positivity was also observed in a fraction of cells in a few cases of pancreatic and prostate cancer. Remaining cancers were negative.
Carcinoids along with a subset of tumor cells in a few cases of pancreatic and mucinous cystadenocarcinomas of ovary displayed strong cytoplasmic staining. Remaining cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PCSK1N (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
SAAS, SCG8, SgVIII
Description
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 inhibitor (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene functions as an inhibitor of prohormone convertase 1, which regulates the proteolytic cleavage of neuroendocrine peptide precursors. The proprotein is further processed into multiple short peptides. A polymorphism within this gene may be associated with obesity. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
