Most cancers exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity. Rare cases of seminoma, non Hodgkin's lymphoma and melanoma showed strong positivity. Several prostate and renal cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ALDH16A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MGC10204
Description
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 16 family, member A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily. The family members act on aldehyde substrates and use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) as a cofactor. This gene is conserved in chimpanzee, dog, cow, mouse, rat, and zebrafish. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with maspardin, a protein that when truncated is responsible for Mast syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
