Cases of prostate, stomach and pancreatic cancers displayed strong staining. Cancer cells in general showed weak to moderate positivity. A majority of gliomas, lymphomas, skin, breast and female genital cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MAP3K2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MEKK2, MEKK2B
Description
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of serine/threonine protein kinase family. This kinase preferentially activates other kinases involved in the MAP kinase signaling pathway. This kinase has been shown to directly phosphorylate and activate Ikappa B kinases, and thus plays a role in NF-kappa B signaling pathway. This kinase has also been found to bind and activate protein kinase C-related kinase 2, which suggests its involvement in a regulated signaling process. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
