Several cases of carcinoids, gliomas and testicular cancers along with a few cases of melanomas, squamous cell carcinomas, breast and prostate cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
Cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining with additional membranous and nuclear positivity in several tissues. Rare case of glioma and ovarian cancer was strongly stained. Majority of the cases of renal cancers were negative.
Cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous staining. Several cases of lymphomas, renal and liver cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
TUBA8 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
TUBAL2
Description
Tubulin, alpha 8 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the alpha tubulin protein family. Alpha tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. Mutations in this gene are associated with polymicrogyria and optic nerve hypoplasia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
