Moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in a majority of adenocarcinomas and lymphomas. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Septin 8 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the septin family of nucleotide binding proteins, originally described in yeast as cell division cycle regulatory proteins. Septins are highly conserved in yeast, Drosophila, and mouse, and appear to regulate cytoskeletal organization. Disruption of septin function disturbs cytokinesis and results in large multinucleate or polyploid cells. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
