Cancer tissues displayed nuclear immunoreactivity, mainly of weak to moderate intensity. Several colorectal cancers and a few breast cancers were strongly positive, while most liver cancers, endometrial cancers and cervical cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
YY2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ZNF631
Description
YY2 transcription factor (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that includes several Kruppel-like zinc fingers in its C-terminal region. It possesses both activation and repression domains, and it can therefore have both positive and negative effects on the transcription of target genes. This gene has an intronless coding region, and it appears to have arisen by retrotransposition of the related YY1 transcription factor gene, which is located on chromosome 14.
