Several cases of melanomas, colorectal, skin, testicular, urothelial, cervix cancers along with head and neck cancers displayed moderate to strong nucleolar staining. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
Few cases of melanomas, colorectal, testicular, urothelial, pancreatic and liver cancers along with a single case of glioma showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and/or nucleolar immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or generally negative.
Strong nucleolar staining was observed in several cases of most cancers. Gliomas and lymphomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NIFK (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
hNIFK, MKI67IP, Nopp34
Description
Nucleolar protein interacting with the FHA domain of MKI67 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein that interacts with the forkhead-associated domain of the Ki-67 antigen. The encoded protein may bind RNA and may play a role in mitosis and cell cycle progression. Multiple pseudogenes exist on chromosomes 5, 10, 12, 15, and 19.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
