A few colorectal, breast, prostate, ovarian, urothelial and endometrial cancers displayed weak to moderate nuclear positivity. Weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in a few hepatocellular carcinomas. Remaining cancer cells were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
UVSSA (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
KIAA1530
Description
UV-stimulated scaffold protein A (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene appears to be involved in ubiquitination and dephosphorylation of RNA polymerase II subunits that stall after UV irradiation. The encoded protein interacts with several members of the nucleotide excision repair complex to help repair UV-induced DNA damage. Defects in this gene can cause UV-sensitive syndrome 3.
