Most cancer tissues showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Several cases of breast cancer were strongly stained. Most cases of gliomas, lymphomas and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
FYCO1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ13335, ZFYVE7
Description
FYVE and coiled-coil domain containing 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein that contains a RUN domain, FYVE-type zinc finger domain and Golgi dynamics (GOLD) domain. The encoded protein plays a role in microtubule plus end-directed transport of autophagic vesicles through interactions with the small GTPase Rab7, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P) and the autophagosome marker LC3. Mutations in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive congenital cataract-2 (CATC2). [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
