Moderate to strong nuclear membrane staining was observed in colorectal cancers, testicular cancers, malignant lymphomas and in a few cases of gastric, urothelial, pancreatic, prostate, endometrial and liver cancers. Remaining cancers were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
LBR (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
DHCR14B, TDRD18
Description
Lamin B receptor (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ERG4/ERG24 family. It localized in the nuclear envelope inner membrane and anchors the lamina and the heterochromatin to the membrane. It may mediate interaction between chromatin and lamin B. Mutations of this gene has been associated with autosomal recessive HEM/Greenberg skeletal dysplasia. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
