A majority of malignant cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity. A few cases of malignant lymphomas, colorectal cancers and liver cancers were strongly stained. Most malignant gliomas and renal cancers were negative.

Description
Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Phosphatidylserine decarboxylases (PSDs; EC 4.1.1.65) catalyze the formation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) by decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine (PS). Type I PSDs, such as PISD, are targeted to the inner mitochondrial membrane by an N-terminal targeting sequence. PISD also contains a conserved LGST motif that functions as an autocatalytic cleavage site where the proenzyme is split into mature alpha and beta subunits (Schuiki and Daum, 2009 [PubMed 19165886]).[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2010]
