Several cases of carcinoids, breast, pancreatic, liver, prostate, ovary and renal cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and/or nuclear positivity. Other cancer tissues were in general negative.
This gene is a member of the family of dihydroxyacetone kinases, which have a protein structure distinct from other kinases. The product of this gene phosphorylates dihydroxyacetone, and also catalyzes the formation of riboflavin 4',5'-phosphate (aka cyclin FMN) from FAD. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only one has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
