A majority of cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several cases of colorectal, liver and prostate cancers exhibited strong positivity. Skin cancers were negative.
Moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity with a granular pattern was observed in most malignant tissues. Most liver, colorectal and pancreatic cancers exhibited strong staining. Basal cell carcinomas in skin were weakly stained or negative.
ETFA participates in catalyzing the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation. It shuttles electrons between primary flavoprotein dehydrogenases and the membrane-bound electron transfer flavoprotein ubiquinone oxidoreductase. Defects in electron-transfer-flavoprotein have been implicated in type II glutaricaciduria in which multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies result in large excretion of glutaric, lactic, ethylmalonic, butyric, isobutyric, 2-methyl-butyric, and isovaleric acids. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
