Tumor cells generally displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. A majority of prostate and skin cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PBXIP1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HPIP
Description
Pre-B-cell leukemia homeobox interacting protein 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the PBX1 homeodomain protein, inhibiting its transcriptional activation potential by preventing its binding to DNA. The encoded protein, which is primarily cytosolic but can shuttle to the nucleus, also can interact with estrogen receptors alpha and beta and promote the proliferation of breast cancer, brain tumors, and lung cancer. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. More variants exist, but their full-length natures have yet to be determined. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
