Most colorectal cancers and a few cases of lymphomas and endometrial cancers showed strong cytoplasmic staining. Renal cancers were generally negative.
Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. A few renal cell carcinomas were weakly stained.
GENE INFORMATION

RPL26 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
L26
Description
Ribosomal protein L26 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein belongs to the L24P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. Mutations in this gene result in Diamond-Blackfan anemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
