A few gliomas, carcinoids, cholangiocarcinomas, thyroid, testicular, prostate, ovarian and pancreatic cancers showed weak to moderate staining. Other cancer cells were negative.
Most cancer cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. A few seminomas and carcinoids were strongly stained. Most hepatocellular carcinomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
TUBB2B (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
bA506K6.1, DKFZp566F223, MGC8685
Description
Tubulin, beta 2B class IIb (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a beta isoform of tubulin, which binds GTP and is a major component of microtubules. This gene is highly similar to TUBB2A and TUBB2C. Defects in this gene are a cause of asymmetric polymicrogyria. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
