Cancer tissues were in general weakly stained or negative. Moderate cytoplasmic positivity was observed in several cases of melanomas, liver, colorectal and pancreatic cancers.
Cancer cells generally showed weak or moderate cytoplasmic staining. Colorectal and liver cancers displayed several strongly stained cases. Renal cancers were in most cases negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PLCE1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
KIAA1516, NPHS3, PLCE
Description
Phospholipase C, epsilon 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a phospholipase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate to generate two second messengers: inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). These second messengers subsequently regulate various processes affecting cell growth, differentiation, and gene expression. This enzyme is regulated by small monomeric GTPases of the Ras and Rho families and by heterotrimeric G proteins. In addition to its phospholipase C catalytic activity, this enzyme has an N-terminal domain with guanine nucleotide exchange (GEF) activity. Mutations in this gene cause early-onset nephrotic syndrome; characterized by proteinuria, edema, and diffuse mesangial sclerosis or focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
