Malignant cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity, along with membranous staining in a few cases. A few cases of pancreas and gastric cancers exhibited strong cytoplasmic and membranous positivity.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RBMS2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
SCR3
Description
RNA binding motif, single stranded interacting protein 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a small family of proteins which bind single stranded DNA/RNA. These proteins are characterized by the presence of two sets of ribonucleoprotein consensus sequence (RNP-CS) that contain conserved motifs, RNP1 and RNP2, originally described in RNA binding proteins, and required for DNA binding. The RBMS proteins have been implicated in such diverse functions as DNA replication, gene transcription, cell cycle progression and apoptosis. This protein was isolated by phenotypic complementation of cdc2 and cdc13 mutants of yeast and is thought to suppress cdc2 and cdc13 mutants through the induction of translation of cdc2.
