Weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity was displayed in gliomas and testicular cancers and several cases of malignant melanomas, colorectal, ovarian, breast and endometrial cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RNF4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
RES4-26, SLX5, SNURF
Description
Ring finger protein 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger motif and acts as a transcription regulator. This protein has been shown to interact with, and inhibit the activity of, TRPS1, a transcription suppressor of GATA-mediated transcription. Transcription repressor ZNF278/PATZ is found to interact with this protein, and thus reduce the enhancement of androgen receptor-dependent transcription mediated by this protein. Studies of the mouse and rat counterparts suggested a role of this protein in spermatogenesis. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 1.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
