Moderate cytoplasmic positivity was observed in testicular and few colorectal cancers. Remaining cancer tissues showed weak nuclear staining or were negative.
Testicular cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity. Few cases of colorectal and lung cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Remaining cancer tissues were mostly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
IGF2BP1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
IMP-1
Description
Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein family. The protein encoded by this gene contains four K homology domains and two RNA recognition motifs. It functions by binding to the mRNAs of certain genes, including insulin-like growth factor 2, beta-actin and beta-transducin repeat-containing protein, and regulating their translation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
