Malignant tissues exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Nuclear positivity was observed in fractions of cells of several malignancies e.g. urothelial cancers and squamous cell carcinomas.

Description
PHD finger protein 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a Polycomb group protein. The protein is a component of a histone H3 lysine-27 (H3K27)-specific methyltransferase complex, and functions in transcriptional repression of homeotic genes. The protein is also recruited to double-strand breaks, and reduced protein levels results in X-ray sensitivity and increased homologous recombination. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
