Several cases of hepatocellular carcinomas displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity while moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity was observed in a few cases of gliomas. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ELAVL3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
DKFZp547J036, HUC, HUCL, MGC20653, PLE21
Description
ELAV like neuron-specific RNA binding protein 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
A member of the ELAVL protein family, ELAV-like 3 is a neural-specific RNA-binding protein which contains three RNP-type RNA recognition motifs. The observation that ELAVL3 is one of several Hu antigens (neuronal-specific RNA-binding proteins) recognized by the anti-Hu serum antibody present in sera from patients with paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis and sensory neuronopathy (PEM/PSN) suggests it has a role in neurogenesis. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
