Cytoplasmic staining with a granular pattern was observed in few adenocarcinomas. In malignant gliomas, distinct positivity of neuropil was observed. Remaining malignant cells were in general negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PLP1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
GPM6C, PLP, SPG2
Description
Proteolipid protein 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a transmembrane proteolipid protein that is the predominant component of myelin. The encoded protein may play a role in the compaction, stabilization, and maintenance of myelin sheaths, as well as in oligodendrocyte development and axonal survival. Mutations in this gene cause Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease and spastic paraplegia type 2. Alternatively splicing results in multiple transcript variants, including the DM20 splice variant.
