Orderable Test Description
NKX3.1 is a protein encoded by the NKX3.1 gene located on chromosome 8. NKX3.1 protein has been found to be positive in the vast majority of primary prostatic adenocarcinomas. NKX3.1 stains nuclei in both normal and prostate cancer and along with other prostate-restricted markers, may be a valuable marker to definitively determine prostatic origin in poorly differentiated metastatic carcinomas.
