Malignant cells showed weak to moderate nuclear staining. Gliomas, lymphomas, skin, testis and urothelial cancers showed moderate nuclear immunoreactivity. A majority of stomach, pancreatic and liver cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NRF1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ALPHA-PAL, EWG
Description
Nuclear respiratory factor 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein that homodimerizes and functions as a transcription factor which activates the expression of some key metabolic genes regulating cellular growth and nuclear genes required for respiration, heme biosynthesis, and mitochondrial DNA transcription and replication. The protein has also been associated with the regulation of neurite outgrowth. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Confusion has occurred in bibliographic databases due to the shared symbol of NRF1 for this gene and for ""nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 1"" which has an official symbol of NFE2L1.
