Most malignant cells were negative. Hepatocellular carcinomas and several colorectal displayed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity while a few cases of female genital cancers showed strong staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
IARS (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
IARS1, ILRS
Description
Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAS, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. Isoleucine-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family and has been identified as a target of autoantibodies in the autoimmune disease polymyositis/dermatomyositis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
