Cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Strong staining was observed in liver cancers along with a few renal and pancreatic cancers. Additional membranous staining was observed in colorectal and pancreatic cancers.
Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Additional nuclear staining was observed in breast, prostate and skin cancers. Liver and colorectal cancers showed cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity. A few cases of carcinoids, melanomas, testicular and liver cancers were strongly stained.

MOCS2 (HGNC Symbol)

MOCO1
Description
Molybdenum cofactor synthesis 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Eukaryotic molybdoenzymes use a unique molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) consisting of a pterin, termed molybdopterin, and the catalytically active metal molybdenum. MoCo is synthesized from precursor Z by the heterodimeric enzyme molybdopterin synthase. The large and small subunits of molybdopterin synthase are both encoded from this gene by overlapping open reading frames. The proteins were initially thought to be encoded from a bicistronic transcript. They are now thought to be encoded from monocistronic transcripts. Alternatively spliced transcripts have been found for this locus that encode the large and small subunits. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
