Cancer tissues generally displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Renal cancers and carcinoids were weakly stained in a majority of cases.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ABCE1 (HGNC Symbol)

OABP, RLI, RNASEL1, RNASELI, RNS4I
Description
ATP-binding cassette, sub-family E (OABP), member 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the OABP subfamily. Alternatively referred to as the RNase L inhibitor, this protein functions to block the activity of ribonuclease L. Activation of ribonuclease L leads to inhibition of protein synthesis in the 2-5A/RNase L system, the central pathway for viral interferon action. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
