Distinct expression of ovarian follicles. Also expressed in testis, prostate and in several other tissues.
ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining mainly consistent with RNA expression data. Pending external verification. Correlation with RNA expression data cannot be evaluated due to cell type not available.
Most cancer cells were weakly stained or negative. Several melanomas, colorectal, breast and prostate cancers exhibited moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity.

Spermine synthase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein belonging to the spermidine/spermin synthase family. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosomes 1, 5, 6 and X. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked Snyder-Robinson mental retardation syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
