Several cases of most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong nuclear positivity. Gliomas, carcinoids, prostate, thyroid and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name

GPE1BP, IG/EBP-1
Description
CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), gamma (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The C/EBP family of transcription factors regulates viral and cellular CCAAT/enhancer element-mediated transcription. C/EBP proteins contain the bZIP region, which is characterized by two motifs in the C-terminal half of the protein: a basic region involved in DNA binding and a leucine zipper motif involved in dimerization. The C/EBP family consist of several related proteins, C/EBP alpha, C/EBP beta, C/EBP gamma, and C/EBP delta, that form homodimers and that form heterodimers with each other. CCAAT/enhancer binding protein gamma may cooperate with Fos to bind PRE-I enhancer elements. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
