Several cases of liver cancers along with a few gliomas, colorectal, testicular, urothelial and stomach cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MSMO1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
DESP4, ERG25, SC4MOL
Description
Methylsterol monooxygenase 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Sterol-C4-mehtyl oxidase-like protein was isolated based on its similarity to the yeast ERG25 protein. It contains a set of putative metal binding motifs with similarity to that seen in a family of membrane desaturases-hydroxylases. The protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and is believed to function in cholesterol biosynthesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
