PRKCA FISH Probe

The PRKCA FISH probe is designed to hybridize to the PRKCA gene and is primarily used for detecting amplifications and deletions associated with the gene. This probe is FISH confirmed on normal peripheral blood metaphase spreads and interphase nuclei. The probe can be labeled in one of five colors. Each probe is sold in a 20 test kit (approximately 20 slides - 22x22 mm area) and includes hybridization buffer. Please note that due to design optimizations, prices are subject to change.

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]

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.
