Cancer cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining that in cases was combined with membranous and/or nuclear staining. Few cases of melanomas and prostate cancers were strongly stained. Carcinoids were negative.
A fraction of tumor cells in carcinoids showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PPP2R2A (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
B55A, PR52A, PR55A
Description
Protein phosphatase 2, regulatory subunit B, alpha (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The product of this gene belongs to the phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit B family. Protein phosphatase 2 is one of the four major Ser/Thr phosphatases, and it is implicated in the negative control of cell growth and division. It consists of a common heteromeric core enzyme, which is composed of a catalytic subunit and a constant regulatory subunit, that associates with a variety of regulatory subunits. The B regulatory subunit might modulate substrate selectivity and catalytic activity. This gene encodes an alpha isoform of the regulatory subunit B55 subfamily. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
