Most hepatocellular carcinomas exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Several cases of skin cancer and a few prostate, stomach and pancreatic cancer expressed weak to moderate staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
DCXR (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
DCR, KIDCR, SDR20C1
Description
Dicarbonyl/L-xylulose reductase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze diacetyl reductase and L-xylulose reductase reactions. The encoded protein may play a role in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism and in the cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules. Defects in this gene are a cause of pentosuria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
