Most cancers displayed moderate nuclear and cytoplasmic staining. Several cases of colorectal cancer and occasional urothelial cancers were strongly stained. Most lymphomas, thyroid, lung, renal and liver cancers were negative or weakly stained.
GENE INFORMATION

Description
MAX interactor 1, dimerization protein (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Expression of the c-myc gene, which produces an oncogenic transcription factor, is tightly regulated in normal cells but is frequently deregulated in human cancers. The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional repressor thought to negatively regulate MYC function, and is therefore a potential tumor suppressor. This protein inhibits the transcriptional activity of MYC by competing for MAX, another basic helix-loop-helix protein that binds to MYC and is required for its function. Defects in this gene are frequently found in patients with prostate tumors. Three alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described. Additional alternatively spliced transcripts may exist but the products of these transcripts have not been verified experimentally. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
