Most cancer cells displayed weak to moderate nucleolar and cytoplasmic positivity. Additional membranous positivity was observed in colorectal cancers. A few cases of carcinoid, colorectal, testicular and gastric cancers showed strong positivity.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
DDX27 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
dJ686N3.1, DRS1
Description
DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 27 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene encodes a DEAD box protein, the function of which has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
