Most of the cancer tissues displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Testicular and lung cancers predominantly showed weak positivity while renal cancers generally were negative.
This gene encodes a protein involved in processing the signal peptide sequences used to direct mitochondrial proteins to the mitochondria. The encoded protein resides in the mitochondria and is one of the necessary proteins for the catalytic activity of the mitochondrial inner membrane peptidase (IMP) complex. Two variants that encode the same protein have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
