Several cases of gliomas showed strong cytoplasmic staining. A few cases of thyroid, renal and liver cancers were moderately positive with additional membranous staining in colorectal and testicular cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
DNAL1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
1700010H15RiK, C14orf168, CILD16, MGC12435
Description
Dynein, axonemal, light chain 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an axonemal dynein light chain which functions as a component of the outer dynein arms complex. This complex acts as the molecular motor that provides the force to move cilia in an ATP-dependent manner. The encoded protein is expressed in tissues with motile cilia or flagella and may be involved in the movement of sperm flagella. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]
