Malignant cells generally displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. A majority of liver cancers and several cases of endometrial cancer strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Gliomas and testicular cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Adenylate kinase 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Adenylate kinases are involved in regulating the adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of phosphate groups among adenine nucleotides. Three isozymes of adenylate kinase, namely 1, 2, and 3, have been identified in vertebrates; this gene encodes isozyme 2. Expression of these isozymes is tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. Isozyme 2 is localized in the mitochondrial intermembrane space and may play a role in apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are the cause of reticular dysgenesis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 1 and 2.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
