A majority of malignant tissues displayed weak to moderate nuclear immunoreactivity. Strong positivity was observed in malignant gliomas.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ZFPM2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FOG2, hFOG-2, ZC2HC11B, ZNF89B
Description
Zinc finger protein, FOG family member 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The zinc finger protein encoded by this gene is a widely expressed member of the FOG family of transcription factors. The family members modulate the activity of GATA family proteins, which are important regulators of hematopoiesis and cardiogenesis in mammals. It has been demonstrated that the protein can both activate and down-regulate expression of GATA-target genes, suggesting different modulation in different promoter contexts. A related mRNA suggests an alternatively spliced product but this information is not yet fully supported by the sequence. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
