A few malignant gliomas, endometrial, ovarian, colorectal and testicular cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Astrocyte processes were distinctly stained in malignant gliomas. Remaining cancer cells were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CEP19 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
C3orf34, MGC14126
Description
Centrosomal protein 19kDa (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene localizes to centrosomes and primary cilia and co-localizes with a marker for the mother centriole. This gene resides in a region of human chromosome 3 that is linked to morbid obesity. A homozygous knockout of the orthologous gene in mouse resulted in mice with morbid obesity, hyperphagy, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance. Mutations in this gene cause morbid obesity and spermatogenic failure (MOSPGF). This gene has a pseudogene on human chromosome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
