NKX3.1
Use
NKX3.1 is a protein encoded by the NKX3.1 gene located on chromosome 8. It stains nuclei in both normal and prostate cancer tissue and is positive in the vast majority of primary prostatic adenocarcinomas. Along with other prostate-restricted markers, NKX3.1 is a valuable marker to definitively determine prostatic origin in poorly differentiated metastatic carcinomas.
