Most cases of prostate cancers along with fractions of cases in other cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and/or membranous staining as well as extracellular positivity. Remaining cancers were generally negative.
Moderate to strong nuclear staining and positivity of nuclear membranes was displayed in most colorectal cancers and lymphomas, and a few cases of stomach and breast cancers. Rare skin cancers showed distinct cytoplasmic and membranous staining, and liver cancer displayed moderate cytoplasmic staining. Most other normal tissues were weakly stained or negative.
NUDT3 belongs to the MutT, or Nudix, protein family. Nudix proteins act as homeostatic checkpoints at important stages in nucleoside phosphate metabolic pathways, guarding against elevated levels of potentially dangerous intermediates, like 8-oxo-dGTP, which promotes AT-to-CG transversions (Safrany et al., 1998 [PubMed 9822604]).[supplied by OMIM, Feb 2011]
