Cancer tissues showed moderate cytoplasmic and occasional membranous staining. Several cases of colorectal, breast and liver cancers as well as melanomas showed strong staining.
This gene encodes a metalloenzyme that catalyzes the last step in the conversion of lysine to the unique amino acid hypusine in eukaryotic initiation factor 5A. The encoded protein hydroxylates deoxyhypusine to form hypusine in the mature eukaryotic initiation factor 5A protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
