Several gastric cancers along with a few cases of malignant melanomas and pancreatic cancers exhibited moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining malignant cells were weakly stained or generally negative.
Several cases of malignant gliomas, colorectal, breast, ovarian, endometrial and renal cancers exhibited moderate cytoplasmic staining. Prostate cancers exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining malignant cells were generally negative.

Proteasome inhibitor subunit 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The 26S proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered structure composed of 2 complexes, a 20S core and a 19S regulator. The 20S core is composed of 4 rings of 28 non-identical subunits; 2 rings are composed of 7 alpha subunits and 2 rings are composed of 7 beta subunits. The 19S regulator is composed of a base, which contains 6 ATPase subunits and 2 non-ATPase subunits, and a lid, which contains up to 10 non-ATPase subunits. Proteasomes are distributed throughout eukaryotic cells at a high concentration and cleave peptides in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent process in a non-lysosomal pathway. An essential function of a modified proteasome, the immunoproteasome, is the processing of class I MHC peptides. This gene encodes a protein that inhibits the activation of the proteasome by the 11S and 19S regulators. Alternative transcript variants have been identified for this gene.
