Most cancer tissues showed moderate nuclear immunoreactivity with additional cytoplasmic staining in several cases. Head & neck cancers along with few gliomas and embryonal carcinomas were strongly stained.
Cancers showed moderate to strong nuclear positivity.

General transcription factor IIIC, polypeptide 6, alpha 35kDa (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
RNA polymerases are unable to initiate RNA synthesis in the absence of additional proteins called general transcription factors (GTFs). GTFs assemble in a complex on the DNA promoter and recruit the RNA polymerase. GTF3C family proteins (e.g., GTF3C1, MIM 603246) are essential for RNA polymerase III to make a number of small nuclear and cytoplasmic RNAs, including 5S RNA (MIM 180420), tRNA, and adenovirus-associated (VA) RNA of both cellular and viral origin.[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
