Weak to moderate nuclear and occasional cytoplasmic positivity was observed in most malignant tissues. Several cases of malignant melanomas and skin were strongly stained.

JAZ, Zfp346
Description
Zinc finger protein 346 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a nucleolar, zinc finger protein that preferentially binds to double-stranded (ds) RNA or RNA/DNA hybrids, rather than DNA alone. Mutational studies indicate that the zinc finger domains are not only essential for dsRNA binding, but are also required for its nucleolar localization. The encoded protein may be involved in cell growth and survival. It plays a role in protecting neurons by inhibiting cell cycle re-entry via stimulation of p21 gene expression. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
