Moderate cytoplasmic positivity was observed in a few cases of colorectal, stomach, urothelial and cervical cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name

BFIT, BFIT1, KIAA0707, STARD14, THEA, THEM1
Description
Acyl-CoA thioesterase 11 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the acyl-CoA thioesterase family which catalyse the conversion of activated fatty acids to the corresponding non-esterified fatty acid and coenzyme A. Expression of a mouse homolog in brown adipose tissue is induced by low temperatures and repressed by warm temperatures. Higher levels of expression of the mouse homolog has been found in obesity-resistant mice compared with obesity-prone mice, suggesting a role of acyl-CoA thioesterase 11 in obesity. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
