Most cancer tissues were negative. Moderate to strong cytoplasmic and nuclear staining was observed in glioma and in a few cases of endometrial, cervical and ovarian cancer.
A majority of the cancer cells were negative. Several ovarian cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PPP1R14A (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CPI-17, PPP1INL
Description
Protein phosphatase 1, regulatory (inhibitor) subunit 14A (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) inhibitor family. This protein is an inhibitor of smooth muscle myosin phosphatase, and has higher inhibitory activity when phosphorylated. Inhibition of myosin phosphatase leads to increased myosin phosphorylation and enhanced smooth muscle contraction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
