Several cases of skin, ovarian and cervical cancers along with a few cases of carcinoids, melanomas, cervical, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate and renal cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were in general negative.
Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Several cases of carcinoid, colorectal and testicular cancers were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NEK3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HSPK36, MGC29949
Description
NIMA-related kinase 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the NimA (never in mitosis A) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein differs from other NimA family members in that it is not cell cycle regulated and is found primarily in the cytoplasm. The kinase is activated by prolactin stimulation, leading to phosphorylation of VAV2 guanine nucleotide exchange factor, paxillin, and activation of the RAC1 GTPase. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
