Cancer tissues showed moderate to strong nuclear and cytoplasmic staining. Several cases of liver, renal and prostate cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RFC2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
A1, RFC40
Description
Replication factor C (activator 1) 2, 40kDa (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the activator 1 small subunits family. The elongation of primed DNA templates by DNA polymerase delta and epsilon requires the action of the accessory proteins, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and replication factor C (RFC). Replication factor C, also called activator 1, is a protein complex consisting of five distinct subunits. This gene encodes the 40 kD subunit, which has been shown to be responsible for binding ATP and may help promote cell survival. Disruption of this gene is associated with Williams syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
