Cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear or nucleolar staining. A few cases of stomach cancers showed strong nuclear staining. Gliomas displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity.

Description
F-box protein 6 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. The F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of the ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box proteins are divided into 3 classes: Fbws containing WD-40 domains, Fbls containing leucine-rich repeats, and Fbxs containing either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbxs class, and its C-terminal region is highly similar to that of rat NFB42 (neural F Box 42 kDa) which may be involved in the control of the cell cycle.
