Most malignancies were negative. Single carcinomas, e.g. thyroid and bladder cancers, showed moderate cytoplasmic staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PDLIM3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ALP
Description
PDZ and LIM domain 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene contains a PDZ domain and a LIM domain, indicating that it may be involved in cytoskeletal assembly. In support of this, the encoded protein has been shown to bind the spectrin-like repeats of alpha-actinin-2 and to colocalize with alpha-actinin-2 at the Z lines of skeletal muscle. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. Aberrant alternative splicing of this gene may play a role in myotonic dystrophy.
