Cancer tissues were in general weakly stained in cytoplasm or were negative. Additional nuclear and sometimes membranous positivity was seen in a few cases in almost all cancer types.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
POU6F2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
RPF-1
Description
POU class 6 homeobox 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the POU protein family characterized by the presence of a bipartite DNA binding domain, consisting of a POU-specific domain and a homeodomain, separated by a variable polylinker. The DNA binding domain may bind to DNA as monomers or as homo- and/or heterodimers, in a sequence-specific manner. The POU family members are transcriptional regulators, many of which are known to control cell type-specific differentiation pathways. This gene is a tumor suppressor involved in Wilms tumor (WT) predisposition. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
