Several cases of testicular and colorectal cancers along with a few cases of gastric and ovarian cancers exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer cells were weakly stained or negative.
Most cancer tissues exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Few cases of papillary adenocarcinomas of thyroid and seminomas exhibited strong positivity. Squamous and basal cell carcinomas were mostly negative.

dGK
Description
Deoxyguanosine kinase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
In mammalian cells, the phosphorylation of purine deoxyribonucleosides is mediated predominantly by two deoxyribonucleoside kinases, cytosolic deoxycytidine kinase and mitochondrial deoxyguanosine kinase. The protein encoded by this gene is responsible for phosphorylation of purine deoxyribonucleosides in the mitochondrial matrix. In addition, this protein phosphorylates several purine deoxyribonucleoside analogs used in the treatment of lymphoproliferative disorders, and this phosphorylation is critical for the effectiveness of the analogs. Alternative splice variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
