Most malignancies displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Strong staining was observed in hepatocellular carcinomas, prostate, breast and thyroid cancers. Skin cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ATPAF2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ATP12, Atp12p, LP3663, MGC29736
Description
ATP synthase mitochondrial F1 complex assembly factor 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an assembly factor for the F(1) component of the mitochondrial ATP synthase. This protein binds specifically to the F1 alpha subunit and is thought to prevent this subunit from forming nonproductive homooligomers during enzyme assembly. This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. An alternatively spliced transcript variant has been described, but its biological validity has not been determined.
