Several cases of squamous cell carcinomas of cervix and embryonal carcinomas of testis showed moderate to strong nuclear staining. Few cases of duct carcinomas of breast, colorectal, urothelial and pancreatic cancers displayed moderate positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MORC4 (HGNC Symbol)

FLJ11565, ZCW4, ZCWCC2
Description
MORC family CW-type zinc finger 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
In human, the four current members of the microrchidia (morc) gene family share an N-terminal ATPase-like ATP-binding region and a CW four-cysteine zinc-finger motif. The protein encoded by this gene also has a nuclear matrix binding domain and a two-stranded coiled-coil motif near its C-terminus. This gene is widely expressed at low levels in normal tissues and has elevated expression in placenta and testis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
