Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear immunoreactivity. Gliomas and testicular cancers along with several cases of basal cell and urothelial carcinomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ASCC1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ASC1p50, CGI-18, Em:AC022392.3
Description
Activating signal cointegrator 1 complex subunit 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a subunit of the activating signal cointegrator 1 (ASC-1) complex. The ASC-1 complex is a transcriptional coactivator that plays an important role in gene transactivation by multiple transcription factors including activating protein 1 (AP-1), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kB) and serum response factor (SRF). The encoded protein contains an N-terminal KH-type RNA-binding motif which is required for AP-1 transactivation by the ASC-1 complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with Barrett esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
