Weak to moderate nuclear membranous immunoreactivity was observed in gliomas, lymphomas, endometrial, cervical and testicular cancers along with few colorectal and lung cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.

Description
Lamin B1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The nuclear lamina consists of a two-dimensional matrix of proteins located next to the inner nuclear membrane. The lamin family of proteins make up the matrix and are highly conserved in evolution. During mitosis, the lamina matrix is reversibly disassembled as the lamin proteins are phosphorylated. Lamin proteins are thought to be involved in nuclear stability, chromatin structure and gene expression. Vertebrate lamins consist of two types, A and B. This gene encodes one of the two B type proteins, B1. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants and a duplication of this gene is associated with autosomal dominant adult-onset leukodystrophy (ADLD). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
