Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity. A majority of cases in gliomas and lymphomas were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ABCB8 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
EST328128, M-ABC1, MABC1
Description
ATP-binding cassette, sub-family B (MDR/TAP), member 8 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This nuclear gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is targeted to the mitochondrial inner membrane. The encoded protein is an ATP-dependent transporter that may mediate the passage of organic and inorganic molecules out of the mitochondria. Loss of function of the related gene in mouse results in a disruption of iron homeostasis between the mitochondria and cytosol. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
