Description

cancer susceptibility candidate 3

Protein class

Candidate cancer biomarkers, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Transporters

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

The product of this gene is a core component of the exon junction complex (EJC), a protein complex that is deposited on spliced mRNAs at exon-exon junctions and functions in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The encoded protein binds RNA and interacts with two other EJC core components. It is predominantly located in the cytoplasm, but shuttles into the nucleus where it localizes to nuclear speckles.

Staining summary

Most normal cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with additional membranous staining in a few cases. Strong positivity was observed in exocrine pancreas, placental trophoblast and cells in seminiferus ducts of testis. Hepatocytes, spleen and myocytes were negative.
