A majority of cancer tissues displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity with additional membranous staining in colorectal and endometrial cancers. Several cases of gliomas, lymphomas, liver, renal and testicular cancers were weakly stained or negative.
Several cases of colorectal, breast, ovarian, cervical and skin cancers as well as melanoma displayed moderate cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
This gene encodes an enzyme included in the 2', 5' oligoadenylate synthase family. This enzyme is induced by interferons and catalyzes the 2', 5' oligomers of adenosine in order to bind and activate RNase L. This enzyme family plays a significant role in the inhibition of cellular protein synthesis and viral infection resistance. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
