Malignant cells generally showed moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear immunoreactivity. Several cases of colorectal, breast, urothelial, renal and pancreatic cancers were strongly stained. Most cases of malignant gliomas, lymphomas and melanomas as well as lung, skin and testicular cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Gene name
BHLHE23 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
bA305P22.3, Beta4, BHLHB4, bHLHe23
Description
Basic helix-loop-helix family, member e23 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor family. Members of this family contain two highly conserved and functionally distinct domains: the basic domain targets sequence-specific DNA binding, while the helix-loop-helix domain facilitates protein interaction. Studies of a related gene in mouse suggest that the encoded protein may function as a transcriptional repressor in the pancreas and brain, and that it is required for normal retinal function.
