A majority of cancer tissues displayed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Few cases of prostate cancers, melanomas and lymphomas were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
BLOC1S5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
dJ303A1.3, MU, MUTED
Description
Biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex-1, subunit 5, muted (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a component of BLOC-1 (biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex 1). Components of this complex are involved in the biogenesis of organelles such as melanosomes and platelet-dense granules. A mouse model for Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome is mutated in the murine version of this gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription exists between this gene and the upstream EEF1E1 (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 epsilon 1) gene, as well as with the downstream TXNDC5 (thioredoxin domain containing 5) gene.
