Cancer tissues displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Additional membranous staining was exhibited in colorectal cancers. Few cases of melanomas, colorectal, endometrial and testicular cancers were strongly stained. Several cases of malignant lymphomas and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.
Most of the cancer tissues displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Several carcinoids, gliomas and lymphomas were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RPS15 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MGC111130, RIG, S15
Description
Ribosomal protein S15 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S19P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. This gene has been found to be activated in various tumors, such as insulinomas, esophageal cancers, and colon cancers. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
