Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate nucleolar immunoreactivity. Few cases of melanomas, squamous cell carcinomas of skin and testicular cancers were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NUP85 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ12549, NUP75
Description
Nucleoporin 85kDa (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein component of the Nup107-160 subunit of the nuclear pore complex. Nuclear pore complexes are embedded in the nuclear envelope and promote bidirectional transport of macromolecules between the cytoplasm and nucleus. The encoded protein can also bind to the C-terminus of chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 2 (CCR2) and promote chemotaxis of monocytes, thereby participating in the inflammatory response. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]
