A majority of colorectal, prostate and urothelial cancers, several breast and melanomas, as well as most squamous cell carcinomas showed moderate nuclear and cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NFAT5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
KIAA0827, NF-AT5, NFATL1, NFATZ, OREBP, TONEBP
Description
Nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5, tonicity-responsive (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The product of this gene is a member of the nuclear factors of activated T cells family of transcription factors. Proteins belonging to this family play a central role in inducible gene transcription during the immune response. This protein regulates gene expression induced by osmotic stress in mammalian cells. Unlike monomeric members of this protein family, this protein exists as a homodimer and forms stable dimers with DNA elements. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
