The majority of malignant cells displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity. Most cases of malignant gliomas, melanomas, testicular, renal, endometrial and ovarian cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
KCNJ15 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
IRKK, Kir1.3, Kir4.2
Description
Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J, member 15 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassium channel. The encoded protein has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell. Eight transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
