The VPS53/CCP17 FISH Probe Kit is designed to detect the human VPS53 gene located on chromosome band 17p13.3, along with the number of chromosome 17 copies per cell.
Abnormalities in VPS53 – also known as HCCS1, PCH2E, hVps53L or pp13624 – have been observed in cancers including pancreatic, hepatocellular and other malignancies.
