Papillary thyroid adenocarcinomas and a few liver, pancreatic and urothelial cancers displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancers were in general negative.
A few cases of colorectal and endometrial cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining malignant cells were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
TRIM2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CMT2R, KIAA0517, RNF86
Description
Tripartite motif containing 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2, and a coiled-coil region. The protein localizes to cytoplasmic filaments. It plays a neuroprotective role and functions as an E3-ubiquitin ligase in proteasome-mediated degradation of target proteins. Mutations in this gene can cause early-onset axonal neuropathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
