Moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity was observed in hepatocellular carcinomas, prostate, renal and endometrial cancers. Malignant gliomas, lymphomas and melanomas showed weak to moderate staining. Remaining malignancies were in general weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MPI
Synonyms
Description
Mannose phosphate isomerase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Phosphomannose isomerase catalyzes the interconversion of fructose-6-phosphate and mannose-6-phosphate and plays a critical role in maintaining the supply of D-mannose derivatives, which are required for most glycosylation reactions. Mutations in the MPI gene were found in patients with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, type Ib. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
