Weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity was observed in several squamous cell carcinomas along with few pancreatic, stomach and endometrial cancers. Hepatocellular carcinomas and few urothelial cancers were moderate to strongly stained. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
Several hepatocellular carcinomas along with few cases of urothelial, pancreatic, lung and skin cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity. Other cancer tissues were generally negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
AKR1B10 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
AKR1B11, AKR1B12, ALDRLn, ARL-1, ARL1, HIS, HSI
Description
Aldo-keto reductase family 1, member B10 (aldose reductase) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. This member can efficiently reduce aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, and it is less active on hexoses. It is highly expressed in adrenal gland, small intestine, and colon, and may play an important role in liver carcinogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
