Cancer cells were mainly negative. Weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear staining was seen in several cases of melanomas, ovarian, renal and thyroid cancers.
Cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity. Gliomas, lymphomas, melanomas, skin cancers and several cases of cervical and testicular cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
UROD
Synonyms
Description
Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. This enzyme is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of uroporphyrinogen to coproporphyrinogen through the removal of four carboxymethyl side chains. Mutations and deficiency in this enzyme are known to cause familial porphyria cutanea tarda and hepatoerythropoetic porphyria.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
