Most cancer tissues displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity with a granular pattern. Additional nuclear staining was observed in a few liver and prostate cancers. Several lymphomas, gliomas and skin cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MAN1B1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MANA-ER, MRT15
Description
Mannosidase, alpha, class 1B, member 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an enzyme belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase 47 family. This enzyme functions in N-glycan biosynthesis, and is a class I alpha-1,2-mannosidase that specifically converts Man9GlcNAc to Man8GlcNAc isomer B. It is required for N-glycan trimming to Man5-6GlcNAc2 in the endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation pathway. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal-recessive intellectual disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 11. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
