Cases of malignant gliomas, malignant melanomas and pancreatic cancers showed moderate to strong nuclear staining. Several cases of malignant lymphomas exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Remaining malignant cells were in general weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
USP11 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
UHX1
Description
Ubiquitin specific peptidase 11 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Protein ubiquitination controls many intracellular processes, including cell cycle progression, transcriptional activation, and signal transduction. This dynamic process, involving ubiquitin conjugating enzymes and deubiquitinating enzymes, adds and removes ubiquitin. Deubiquitinating enzymes are cysteine proteases that specifically cleave ubiquitin from ubiquitin-conjugated protein substrates. This gene encodes a deubiquitinating enzyme which lies in a gene cluster on chromosome Xp11.23 [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
