A case of hepatocellular carcinoma displayed strong cytoplasmic, membranous and nuclear staining. Moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity was observed in a few cases of liver, ovarian, renal and pancreatic cancers. Follicular adenoma carcinoma of thyroid showed moderate nuclear immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
Several cases of malignant melanomas, ovarian, renal and liver cancers exhibited weak to moderate nuclear and occasional cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining malignant cells were negative.
This gene encodes a cytosolic, homodimeric, zinc-binding enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acylated L-amino acids to L-amino acids and an acyl group, and has been postulated to function in the catabolism and salvage of acylated amino acids. This gene is located on chromosome 3p21.1, a region reduced to homozygosity in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), and its expression has been reported to be reduced or undetectable in SCLC cell lines and tumors. The amino acid sequence of human aminoacylase-1 is highly homologous to the porcine counterpart, and this enzyme is the first member of a new family of zinc-binding enzymes. Mutations in this gene cause aminoacylase-1 deficiency, a metabolic disorder characterized by central nervous system defects and increased urinary excretion of N-acetylated amino acids. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the upstream ABHD14A (abhydrolase domain containing 14A) gene, as represented in GeneID:100526760. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 18. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
