Most malignant cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity which in several cases was combined with stronger nuclear staining. Most liver cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity.
Most cancers showed distinct nuclear staining. Additional cytoplasmic positivity was observed in several cases.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RAD18 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
RNF73
Description
RAD18 E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to S. cerevisiae DNA damage repair protein Rad18. Yeast Rad18 functions through its interaction with Rad6, which is an ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme required for post-replication repair of damaged DNA. Similar to its yeast counterpart, this protein is able to interact with the human homolog of yeast Rad6 protein through a conserved ring-finger motif. Mutation of this motif results in defective replication of UV-damaged DNA and hypersensitivity to multiple mutagens. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
