Prostate cancers and few cases of urothelial cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity with additional membranous staining in prostate cancers. Rare cases of melanomas, liver and lung cancers was moderately positive. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PLPP1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
LPP1, PAP-2a, PPAP2A
Description
Phospholipid phosphatase 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) family. PAPs convert phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol, and function in synthesis of glycerolipids and in phospholipase D-mediated signal transduction. This enzyme is an integral membrane glycoprotein that plays a role in the hydrolysis and uptake of lipids from extracellular space. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
