Several cases of colorectal, cervical, melanomas, skin and testicular cancers displayed moderate to strong nuclear positivity. Most of the stomach cancers along with few cases of lung, pancreatic, urothelial and breast cancers were moderately stained. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.

Description
TEA domain family member 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene product is a member of the transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF) family of transcription factors, which contain the TEA/ATTS DNA-binding domain. It is preferentially expressed in the skeletal muscle, and binds to the M-CAT regulatory element found in promoters of muscle-specific genes to direct their gene expression. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms, some of which are translated through the use of a non-AUG (UUG) initiation codon, have been described for this gene.
