Most cancer cells displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity with a granular pattern. Several cases of cervical, endometrial, renal and gastric were weakly stained or negative.

Poly(rC) binding protein 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the KH-domain protein subfamily. Proteins of this subfamily, also referred to as alpha-CPs, bind to RNA with a specificity for C-rich pyrimidine regions. Alpha-CPs play important roles in post-transcriptional activities and have different cellular distributions. This gene's protein is found in the cytoplasm, yet it lacks the nuclear localization signals found in other subfamily members. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
