Most malignant tissues displayed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity combined with cases of nuclear staining. A few cases of gliomas showed strong nuclear staining while most cases of lymphomas, skin, renal and cervical cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ATG7 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
APG7L, DKFZp434N0735, GSA7
Description
Autophagy related 7 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an E1-like activating enzyme that is essential for autophagy and cytoplasmic to vacuole transport. The encoded protein is also thought to modulate p53-dependent cell cycle pathways during prolonged metabolic stress. It has been associated with multiple functions, including axon membrane trafficking, axonal homeostasis, mitophagy, adipose differentiation, and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
