A majority of cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Gliomas showed distinct nuclear positivity. A majority of squamous cell carcinomas, hepatocellular carcinomas, endometrial, renal and urothelial cancers were weakly stained or negative.
Most cancer tissues exhibited weak to moderate nuclear and/or cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Few gliomas, seminomas and carcinoids were strongly stained.
General cytoplasmic staining in almost all cancer tissues, strongest staining in colorectal, testis and urothelial cancers. Squamous cell carcinomas were generally weaker.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PRMT5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HRMT1L5, SKB1, SKB1Hs
Description
Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an enzyme that belongs to the methyltransferase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the transfer of methyl groups to the amino acid arginine, in target proteins that include histones, transcriptional elongation factors and the tumor suppressor p53. This gene plays a role in several cellular processes, including transcriptional regulation, and the assembly of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 4. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
