Cancer cells displayed strong nuclear staining in combination with a weaker cytoplasmic positivity. Lymphomas and several cases of melanomas, testicular, lung and gastric cancers exhibited moderate nuclear immunoreactivity.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
HDGF (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HMG1L2
Description
Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the hepatoma-derived growth factor family. The encoded protein has mitogenic and DNA-binding activity and may play a role in cellular proliferation and differentiation. This gene was thought initially to be located on chromosome X, however, that location has been determined to correspond to a related pseudogene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
