Weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining was observed in most cancers. Testicular cancers and a few cervical cancers were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION

BL44, GCK, RAB8IP
Description
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. Although this kinase is found in many tissues, its expression in lymphoid follicles is restricted to the cells of germinal centre, where it may participate in B-cell differentiation. This kinase can be activated by TNF-alpha, and has been shown to specifically activate MAP kinases. This kinase is also found to interact with TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), which is involved in the activation of MAP3K1/MEKK1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
