Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong membranous and/or cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Hepatocellular carcinomas, thyroid, renal and stomach cancers and several lymphomas were negative.
Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong membranous staining. Few cases of lymphomas and basal cell carcinoma of skin showed additional cytoplasmic positivity. Colorectal, thyroid, renal and stomach cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
DBN1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
D0S117E
Description
Drebrin 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic actin-binding protein thought to play a role in the process of neuronal growth. It is a member of the drebrin family of proteins that are developmentally regulated in the brain. A decrease in the amount of this protein in the brain has been implicated as a possible contributing factor in the pathogenesis of memory disturbance in Alzheimer's disease. At least two alternative splice variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
