A few gliomas, carcinoids, cholangiocarcinomas, thyroid, testicular, prostate, ovarian and pancreatic cancers showed weak to moderate staining. Other cancer cells were negative.
Most cancer cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. A few seminomas and carcinoids were strongly stained. Most hepatocellular carcinomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
TUBB3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
beta-4, CFEOM3, CFEOM3A, FEOM3
Description
Tubulin, beta 3 class III (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a class III member of the beta tubulin protein family. Beta tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. This protein is primarily expressed in neurons and may be involved in neurogenesis and axon guidance and maintenance. Mutations in this gene are the cause of congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type 3. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
