A majority of cancer cells displayed moderate to strong nuclear immunoreactivity. Renal cancers along with most carcinoids and hepatocellular carcinomas were weakly stained or negative.
Cancer cells generally showed moderate to strong nuclear staining. Many cases of renal cell carcinomas and liver cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Histone acetyltransferase 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a type B histone acetyltransferase (HAT) that is involved in the rapid acetylation of newly synthesized cytoplasmic histones, which are in turn imported into the nucleus for de novo deposition onto nascent DNA chains. Histone acetylation, particularly of histone H4, plays an important role in replication-dependent chromatin assembly. Specifically, this HAT can acetylate soluble but not nucleosomal histone H4 at lysines 5 and 12, and to a lesser degree, histone H2A at lysine 5. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]
