PRKCA Gene Summary

Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that can be activated by calcium and the second messenger diacylglycerol. PKC family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. PKC family members also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumor promoters. Each member of the PKC family has a specific expression profile and is believed to play a distinct role in cells. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the PKC family members. This kinase has been reported to play roles in many different cellular processes, such as cell adhesion, cell transformation, cell cycle checkpoint, and cell volume control. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this kinase may be a fundamental regulator of cardiac contractility and Ca(2+) handling in myocytes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

IGF2BP3 Gene Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is primarily found in the nucleolus, where it can bind to the 5' UTR of the insulin-like growth factor II leader 3 mRNA and may repress translation of insulin-like growth factor II during late development. The encoded protein contains several KH domains, which are important in RNA binding and are known to be involved in RNA synthesis and metabolism. A pseudogene exists on chromosome 7, and there are putative pseudogenes on other chromosomes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

β-Catenin nuclear expression discriminates deep penetrating nevi from other cutaneous melanocytic tumors from other cutaneous melanocytic tumors

Cutaneous melanocytic tumors can vary significantly in their morphology, especially in early stages. This study aimed to genetically and immunohistochemically distinguish between several cutaneous melanocytic tumor types - deep penetrating nevi (DPN), “blue” melanocytic tumors, Spitz tumors, nevoid and SSM melanomas, and pigmented epithelioid melanocytomas (PEM) – using IHC and FISH. Empire Genomics’ PRKCA break apart was used to detect PRKCA rearrangements in the samples, helping to confirm fusion of the gene in two PEM patients.
