Most malignant tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Rare cases of malignant melanomas exhibited strong positivity. Many skin cancers along with several urothelial cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
WDFY1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FENS-1, KIAA1435, WDF1, ZFYVE17
Description
WD repeat and FYVE domain containing 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate binding protein, which contains a FYVE zinc finger domain and multiple WD-40 repeat domains. When exogenously expressed, it localizes to early endosomes. Mutagenesis analysis demonstrates that this endosomal localization is mediated by the FYVE domain. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
