Weak to moderate nuclear positivity was displayed in most cancer tissues. Lymphomas, gliomas, melanomas, carcinoids, thyroid, prostate, renal and stomach cancers were mostly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
HMGB3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HMG2A, HMG4, MGC90319
Description
High mobility group box 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins containing one or more high mobility group DNA-binding motifs. The encoded protein plays an important role in maintaining stem cell populations, and may be aberrantly expressed in tumor cells. A mutation in this gene was associated with microphthalmia, syndromic 13. There are numerous pseudogenes of this gene on multiple chromosomes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
