Most gliomas and hepatocellular cancers along with few melanomas, seminomas and renal cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.

Description
Cofilin 2 (muscle) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an intracellular protein that is involved in the regulation of actin-filament dynamics. This protein is a major component of intranuclear and cytoplasmic actin rods. It can bind G- and F-actin in a 1:1 ratio of cofilin to actin, and it reversibly controls actin polymerization and depolymerization in a pH-dependent manner. Mutations in this gene cause nemaline myopathy type 7, a form of congenital myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]
