Malignant tissues generally displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and nuclear immunoreactivity. Strong positivity was found in most malignant melanomas, thyroid and renal cancers. Malignant lymphomas, testicular cancers and prostate cancers were in general negative.
Strong nuclear and cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in malignant melanomas and in a few cases of malignant gliomas and ovarian-, endometrial-, renal- and breast cancers. Most other tumors were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
S100A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
S100-alpha, S100A
Description
S100 calcium binding protein A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100 family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of a wide range of cells, and involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and differentiation. S100 genes include at least 13 members which are located as a cluster on chromosome 1q21. This protein may function in stimulation of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, inhibition of microtubule assembly, and inhibition of protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation. Reduced expression of this protein has been implicated in cardiomyopathies. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
