Most cancer tissues displayed moderate nuclear and cytoplasmic staining. Several cases of testicular cancers and melanomas, few cases of lung cancers showed strong nuclear and cytoplasmic staining. Some cases of renal cancers were negative.
Cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Nuclear staining was observed in a few cases. Several cases of gliomas and lymphomas were negative.
The 26S proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered structure composed of 2 complexes, a 20S core and a 19S regulator. The 20S core is composed of 4 rings of 28 non-identical subunits; 2 rings are composed of 7 alpha subunits and 2 rings are composed of 7 beta subunits. The 19S regulator is composed of a base, which contains 6 ATPase subunits and 2 non-ATPase subunits, and a lid, which contains up to 10 non-ATPase subunits. Proteasomes are distributed throughout eukaryotic cells at a high concentration and cleave peptides in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent process in a non-lysosomal pathway. An essential function of a modified proteasome, the immunoproteasome, is the processing of class I MHC peptides. This gene encodes a non-ATPase subunit of the 19S regulator. Two transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
