Strong nuclear positivity was observed in several gliomas. Moderate nuclear and cytoplasmic staining was displayed in several breast, colorectal, endometrial, lung and liver cancers as well as a few cases of other cancers. Remaining cancer cells were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RFC1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
A1, MHCBFB, PO-GA, RFC140
Description
Replication factor C (activator 1) 1, 145kDa (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes the large subunit of replication factor C, a five subunit DNA polymerase accessory protein, which is a DNA-dependent ATPase required for eukaryotic DNA replication and repair. The large subunit acts as an activator of DNA polymerases, binds to the 3' end of primers, and promotes coordinated synthesis of both strands. It may also have a role in telomere stability. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
