NKX3.1 protein down regulates growth of epithelial cells in prostate tissue and plays a critical role in suppressing prostate carcinoma. NKX3.1 is expressed predominantly in prostate epithelium and is also found in testis, ureter, pulmonary bronchial mucous glands, salivary gland, and some cases of ductal and lobular breast carcinoma. NKX3.1 is a highly sensitive and specific marker for prostate adenocarcinoma.
Diffuse strong nuclear reactivity and weak cytoplasmic reactivity is present in this prostate adenocarcinoma.
