Most cancer tissuesshowed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Several hepatocellular carcinomas exhibited strong staining. Several cases of gliomas, breast, prostate, renal and cervical cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name

CGI-89, CXorf11, ZDHHC10, ZNF379, ZNF380
Description
Zinc finger, DHHC-type containing 9 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that is a member of the zinc finger DHHC domain-containing protein family. The encoded protein forms a complex with golgin subfamily A member 7 and functions as a palmitoyltransferase. This protein specifically palmitoylates HRAS and NRAS. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked mental retardation. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
