Malignant tissues exhibited moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several cases of colorectal cancers along with a few cases of malignant carcinoids, breast, endometrial and pancreatic cancers showed strong staining. Most malignant lymphomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
WDR12 (HGNC Symbol)

FLJ10881, YTM1
Description
WD repeat domain 12 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. This protein is highly similar to the mouse WD repeat domain 12 protein at the amino acid level. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of a nucleolar protein complex that affects maturation of the large ribosomal subunit.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
