A majority of the cancer cells displayed weak cytoplasmic staining or were negative. Most gliomas showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity.
Strong cytoplasmic staining in gliomas. A few cases of most other cancer tissues showed moderate staining, other cancer tissues were negative. Virtually no staining in breast, prostate, thyroid, skin and testis cancers.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MAPRE2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
EB1, EB2, RP1
Description
Microtubule-associated protein, RP/EB family, member 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene shares significant homology to the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein-binding EB1 gene family. This protein is a microtubule-associated protein that is necessary for spindle symmetry during mitosis. It is thought to play a role in the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancers and the proliferative control of normal cells. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
