Most malignant cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity which in some cases was combined with nuclear staining. Thyroid cancers, a few cases of malignant melanomas, testicular, endometrial, ovarian and lung cancers were strongly stained. Malignant lymphomas were generally negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
P3H3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
GRCB, HSU47926, LEPREL2
Description
Prolyl 3-hydroxylase 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the leprecan family of proteoglycans, which function as collagen prolyl hydroxylases that are required for proper collagen biosynthesis, folding and assembly. This protein, like other family members, is thought to reside in the endoplasmic reticulum. Epigenetic inactivation of this gene is associated with breast and other cancers, suggesting that it may function as a tumor suppressor. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
