Moderate to strong cytoplasmic and nuclear staining was observed in lymphomas and few cases of several cancers including melanoma, cervical cancers and head and neck cancer. A rare case of ovarian cancer displayed strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SEC61G (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
SSS1
Description
Sec61 translocon gamma subunit (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The Sec61 complex is the central component of the protein translocation apparatus of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Oligomers of the Sec61 complex form a transmembrane channel where proteins are translocated across and integrated into the ER membrane. This complex consists of three membrane proteins- alpha, beta, and gamma. This gene encodes the gamma-subunit protein. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
