Most renal cancers and hepatocellular carcinomas along with a few pancreatic, thyroid and urothelial cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer cells were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PRIM1
Synonyms
Description
Primase, DNA, polypeptide 1 (49kDa) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The replication of DNA in eukaryotic cells is carried out by a complex chromosomal replication apparatus, in which DNA polymerase alpha and primase are two key enzymatic components. Primase, which is a heterodimer of a small subunit and a large subunit, synthesizes small RNA primers for the Okazaki fragments made during discontinuous DNA replication. The protein encoded by this gene is the small, 49 kDa primase subunit. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
