A single case of testicular seminoma displayed strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several malignant gliomas and lymphomas along with a few liver and pancreatic cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Other cancer tissues were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MAP4K4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLH21957, HGK, NIK
Description
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. This kinase has been shown to specifically activate MAPK8/JNK. The activation of MAPK8 by this kinase is found to be inhibited by the dominant-negative mutants of MAP3K7/TAK1, MAP2K4/MKK4, and MAP2K7/MKK7, which suggests that this kinase may function through the MAP3K7-MAP2K4-MAP2K7 kinase cascade, and mediate the TNF-alpha signaling pathway. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
