Several cases of gliomas and breast cancers showed moderate nuclear immunoreactivity. Most lymphomas, endometrial, cervical and renal cancers were negative. Remaining cancer tissues generally showed weak staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
WDR45 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
JM5, NBIA5, WDRX1, WIPI4
Description
WD repeat domain 45 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. This gene has a pseudogene at chromosome 4q31.3. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene, but the biological validity and full-length nature of some variants have not been determined.
