A few cases of colorectal and gastric cancers as well as hodgkin cells were strongly stained. Malignant cells in general displayed moderate granular staining in the cytoplasm.
Malignant cells generally displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity with a granular pattern. Several cases of malignant gliomas and renal cancers showed weak staining or were negative.
Most malignant cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Cases of colorectal cancers displayed strong cytoplasmic positivity.
GENE INFORMATION

MRP-L2, RPML2
Description
Mitochondrial ribosomal protein L37 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 39S subunit protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
