Most cancer tissues displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several lymphomas were weakly stained or negative. A few renal cell and hepatocellular carcinomas showed additional strong nucleolar staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CCL14 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CKb1, HCC-1, HCC-3, MCIF, NCC-2, SCYA14, SCYL2
Description
Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 14 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 14, is one of several CC cytokine genes clustered on 17q11.2. The CC cytokines are secreted proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene induces changes in intracellular calcium concentration and enzyme release in monocytes. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Read-through transcripts are also expressed that include exons from the upstream cytokine gene, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 15, and are represented as GeneID: 348249. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
