Cancer cells showed moderate to strong nucleolar staining which in cases was combined with cytoplasmic positivity. Several cases of malignant gliomas, breast, renal and pancreatic cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name

Synonyms

Description
Peter pan homolog (Drosophila) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is an evolutionarily conserved protein similar to yeast SSF1 as well as to the gene product of the Drosophila gene peter pan (ppan). SSF1 is known to be involved in the second step of mRNA splicing. Both SSF1 and ppan are essential for cell growth and proliferation. Exogenous expression of this gene was reported to reduce the anchorage-independent growth of some tumor cells. Read-through transcription of this gene with P2RY11/P2Y(11), an adjacent downstream gene that encodes an ATP receptor, has been found. These read-through transcripts are ubiquitously present and up-regulated during granulocyte differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
