A majority of malignant lymphomas and a few cases of testicular cancers displayed strong cytoplasmic staining. Colorectal, breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic staining in several cases. Remaining malignancies were generally negative or weakly stained.
Malignant tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Few cases of malignant lymphomas, colorectal and testicular cancers showed strong staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NFKB2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
LYT-10, NF-kB2, p105, p52
Description
Nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells 2 (p49/p100) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a subunit of the transcription factor complex nuclear factor-kappa-B (NFkB). The NFkB complex is expressed in numerous cell types and functions as a central activator of genes involved in inflammation and immune function. The protein encoded by this gene can function as both a transcriptional activator or repressor depending on its dimerization partner. The p100 full-length protein is co-translationally processed into a p52 active form. Chromosomal rearrangements and translocations of this locus have been observed in B cell lymphomas, some of which may result in the formation of fusion proteins. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 18. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]
