Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate nuclear positivity. Strong nuclear staining was observed in a few cases of testicular and gastric cancers. Several renal and lymphomas were negative.
Most cancer cells displayed moderate to strong nuclear immunoreactivity. Additional membranous staining was observed in colorectal, gastric and pancreatic cancers.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SAP18 (HGNC Symbol)

2HOR0202, MGC27131, SAP18p
Description
Sin3A-associated protein, 18kDa (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Histone acetylation plays a key role in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. Histone acetylation and deacetylation are catalyzed by multisubunit complexes. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the histone deacetylase complex, which includes SIN3, SAP30, HDAC1, HDAC2, RbAp46, RbAp48, and other polypeptides. This protein directly interacts with SIN3 and enhances SIN3-mediated transcriptional repression when tethered to the promoter. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 2.
