A few hepatocellular carcinomas showed strong cytoplasmic positivity. Several cholangiocarcinomas, pancreatic, testicular, urothelial and renal cancers showed weak to moderate positivity. Reamining cancer tissues were in general negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
DCTN5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MGC3248, p25
Description
Dynactin 5 (p25) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a subunit of dynactin, a component of the cytoplasmic dynein motor machinery involved in minus-end-directed transport. The encoded protein is a component of the pointed-end subcomplex and is thought to bind membranous cargo. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]
