Colorectal and prostate cancers exhibited moderate cytoplasmic and/or membranous positivity. A few cases of melanomas showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Weak to moderate staining was observed in thyroid and breast cancers along with several gliomas and pancreatic cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ALDH1L2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ38508, mtFDH
Description
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family, member L2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of both the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily and the formyl transferase superfamily. This member is the mitochondrial form of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (FDH), which converts 10-formyltetrahydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate and CO2 in an NADP(+)-dependent reaction, and plays an essential role in the distribution of one-carbon groups between the cytosolic and mitochondrial compartments of the cell. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
