Most malignant cells displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and occasional membranous immunoreactivity. Malignant lymphomas and melanomas were negative and many cases of testicular cancers and malignant
gliomas were weakly stained or negative.
Malignant cells displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity with additional membranous staining in some cases. Malignant gliomas, lymphomas and melanomas were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MAP7 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
E-MAP-115
Description
Microtubule-associated protein 7 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The product of this gene is a microtubule-associated protein that is predominantly expressed in cells of epithelial origin. Microtubule-associated proteins are thought to be involved in microtubule dynamics, which is essential for cell polarization and differentiation. This protein has been shown to be able to stabilize microtubules, and may serve to modulate microtubule functions. Studies of the related mouse protein also suggested an essential role in microtubule function required for spermatogenesis. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
