Most cancer cells showed weak cytoplasmic staining with additional nuclear staining or were negative. Several prostate, cervical and endometrial cancers as well as a few cases of colorectal, stomach and liver cancers displayed moderate immunoreactivity.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
KIF21A (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FEOM1, FLJ20052
Description
Kinesin family member 21A (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the KIF4 subfamily of kinesin-like motor proteins. The encoded protein is characterized by an N-terminal motor domain a coiled-coil stalk domain and a C-terminal WD-40 repeat domain. This protein may be involved in microtubule dependent transport. Mutations in this gene are the cause of congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles-1. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
