Recent reports indicate that heterozygous germline mutations of this gene are responsible for the disease onset of MEN1. In this study we examined the expression of menin in parathyroid tumors from primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP), secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHP), and MEN1 and thyroid tumors including Basedow\u2019s disease, thyroid cancer, and adrenocortical tumors. Both ribonucleic acid and protein from these tumors were applied to RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Primers for RT-PCR were designed to amplify the sequence between exons 2 and 3 of the MEN1 gene. Specific antibody against menin was generated in guinea pigs immunized with the recombinant peptide from amino acid residues 443\u2013535 of menin made by using glutathione-S-transferase (GST) gene fusion. Menin messenger ribonucleic acid was strongly expressed on RT-PCR analysis in the parathyroid tumors from both PHP and SHP. Western blotting revealed a specific band of approximately 67 kDa in parathyroid tumors from PHP and SHP, with a much weaker such band detected in thyroid tumors. Menin expression was down-regulated in MEN1 samples, including nonsense mutation and deletion mutant. These findings suggest that menin is predominantly synthesized and stored in parathyroid tumors resulting from PHP and SHP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem.85.7.6688","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,8]],"date-time":"2014-01-08T17:05:45Z","timestamp":1389200745000},"page":"2615-2619","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Expression of Menin in Parathyroid Tumors"],"prefix":"10.1210","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"M.
