Few cases of colorectal, endometrial and hepatocellular carcinomas displayed weak to moderate membranous positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
Most tumour tissues exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic and/or membranous immunoreactivity. Gliomas, lymphomas, melanomas, squamous cell carcinomas, liver and testicular cancers were generally negative.
A case of head and neck cancer displayed strong cytoplasmic staining. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MYL9 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
LC20, MLC2, MRLC1, MYRL2
Description
Myosin, light chain 9, regulatory (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Myosin, a structural component of muscle, consists of two heavy chains and four light chains. The protein encoded by this gene is a myosin light chain that may regulate muscle contraction by modulating the ATPase activity of myosin heads. The encoded protein binds calcium and is activated by myosin light chain kinase. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
