Renal cell carcinomas, thyroid cancers and a few liver cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Malignant carcinoids, breast cancers along with a few cases of colorectal, endometrial, stomach and pancreatic cancers were moderately stained. Remaining malignant cells were in general weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
TK2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
SCA31
Description
Thymidine kinase 2, mitochondrial (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a deoxyribonucleoside kinase that specifically phosphorylates thymidine, deoxycytidine, and deoxyuridine. The encoded enzyme localizes to the mitochondria and is required for mitochondrial DNA synthesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with a myopathic form of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms, some of which lack transit peptide, so are not localized to mitochondria. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]
